wow, that sounds like my kind of weekend! We need to get this set up at Jefferson circuit or something. Wouldn't it be a good addition to HyperFest? 8)

um, I'm in. It says each team must have 4-6 drivers, so I think it would be a ton of fun for an MM team. Do any of the Merkurs run? :twisted:

That's actually sorta expensive? $500, plus safety equipment, plus $500/car + $100/driver entry fees?

Had it been cheaper I would be really interested! But I'd much rather invest the same into a GRM $200x challenge car.

haha oh god I hope not. On a trailer, it MIGHT. :lol:

I hear ya Pete, we'd spend ~$1000 on the car, plus another couple hundred bucks each for the fees, but really the cost of getting out there and back would be pretty big too. But I can dream can't I?

a 325e/525e, Accord, or pathetic Chrysler product would be pretty easy to find....

Get Pete or other friend of the club to weld in a crappy cage

Borrow seat/harnesses/fire system from someone's race car

...

Profit! :thumbup:

Seriously though, I'll find and buy the beater if I could get some other contributions/drivers interested. If we got like 6 people together, we might each be able to throw in ~$400 for the whole weekend/car/entry fees. It'd be like, slightly more than the cost of a HPDE weekend, and you'd get 4 hours of track time (well, assuming the car runs for 24 hours).
