See, that is all we needed.......a real website to the event. But to post a "myspace" page that is filled with lies and **** stars as friends isn't exactly something you are going to get people to take you seriously about.

Do you need an additional driver? I am local and am interested. I can contribute time and money.

You know what? This is insane.

Lane, I personally very much appreciate hearing about your entry in the race - I've read alot about it, it sounds like a scream, I know you own a 996, so good call.

Dell, WTF? Who appointed you the damn moderator of the forum? How many threads do you jump into, blow them off, and post your "Thanks for playing!"

I'm not a member of this forum to hear your opinion on every freaking thread.

You're like the playground bully in grade school, and who wants to take this **** from you all the time about every conceivable topic?

Lane,

There was a great article in one of the car mags (I can't remember which) just a couple of issues ago that chronicled the magazine’s team. I think they had an Olds Aurora with a V8. It was a great read. It sounded like an absolute blast. Good luck.

Yeah, it's been in Car and Driver, Road & Track, AND the LA Times magazine "West" did a feature.

That's why it sounds like such a scream, 50 ****boxes flying around a track. I'd pick up an old MG, probably make it about 35 minutes before she blew....

Hopefully LVDell is alright with my posting of our video link. We turned in our application for the race the other day, and now we are just crossing our fingers that we get in. Here is the link to our video, hope you guys and girls enjoy it.

Save your receipts! You're going to have problems convincing the judges that you paid $500, and they deduct one lap for each $10 over $500 that they THINK you paid.

Good luck, I hope to be there myself.

Lane and PJorgen good luck getting accepted to participate on the race. We also submitted our application a couple weeks ago, and we are keeping our fingers crossed as well. I exchanged emails with Jay Lamm on Fri March 2nd, and he told me that they would be making final decisions that night, and everyone should know if they are in or out sometime on the week of March 5th.

Here's to good luck!
