Default The Ultimate Road Race

The web site is finally ready! www.borderchallenge.com

I wish I could get my 83 EuroS ready in time to do this one.

We gotta get a few 928's involved to beat the Vipers and Farraris and 930's.

What about you BOOSTED guys? Come on , LET EM RIP for 2500 miles!

No Tickets! Really. They want you to go as fast as you can!

Well, if you can't make the April date for the Border Challenge, maybe you can hit the Targa Newfoundland 2004 in September. 2,200km in 5 days...all at CDN prices! Check out more at:

The entry fee is $5,000 USD.

I'd rather have a supercharger!

BB,

Looks like you need a full roll cage to enter...

The 928 would fit under the same rules as the SILVER STATE CLASIC cars, not a problem, which are strictly saftey intended - 6 pt Roll cage, fire ext, first aid kit helmet and suit and so forth. Ignore the tire and rim sizes - that is for the 4 cyl cars. The $5k fee is for two drivers, so its really $2500 and thats not bad. It includes hotels and some meals and all the Corona Beer you can drink! They are the big sponsors.

Come on Guys, LETS ROCK. Be there or be square!

Same type of open road race you see in Speed Racer cartoons. Way cool! Wish I had a Mach 5 to run in it!

Btw, has anyone seen one of these cars around? Basic Corvette mod, minus the circular saws :-(

Dont forget your 9mm and a wad of Uncle Bens for those "sticky" situations!

Would be a fun race to do!

Check out the food cautions. Better remember to bring along some Kaopectate or whatever else cures Montezuma's Revenge. Might get a bit messey at an inconvenient time.
