Topic: Who's racing at Sonoma in December?

So who am I racing against at the season-ender in a few weeks?

Tired Iron Racing, Class A Winner of 2023 Days of Thunder & the Hooptie-Con Engine heat Cooking Competition, otherwise just a 50x loser, which is somehow able to finish in the top ten, if we don't step on our own dicks.

True! I am usually racing against my own stupidity & I still lose. So then..a better question would be....Who am I sharing the paddock with?

Thunderchicken w/rain tires mounted.

The Avanti has engine issues. Should be ready for T-Hill next.

Now I understand the reasoning behind owning multiple race cars.
Race one while repairing the other. And repeat.

Re: Who's racing at Sonoma in December?

I'll be there. 3 cars so far.
Return of Cavalier Rage for one more race.
Trophy Truck in Lemons? Why not!?
Ramblin' in ol' Rambles to cap of her year? Yessir.

Anything else? Any class C people need another driver? Experienced IOE shepherd available for a stint or two.

Imagining what Spank may do with these is frightening!

I kid.

Actually, it's far worse than me bringing a bunch of coconuts...

I'm bringing the Hyundai. Sorry, everyone.

I like to think I did my part by killing the ToyoHog. Someone else is going to have to step up and drive the Hyundai slightly beyond the point of despairingly comprehensive mechanical failure.

In my experience, oil spraying onto the windshield is a good sign of progress.

Re: Who's racing at Sonoma in December?

We'll be there from Utah with the FX32.  Instead of soft coupling with an automatic hooked to the rear engine, we've opted for an even stupider setup with two manual transmissions.  I've always wanted to try this. 

In a few cursory test drives in the neighborhood, (sorry neighbors) it seems much better - faster.  I'm sure it will break early and often. 

DOMINATION!

No, it's brilliant! If both transmissions are five speeds, you now get 25 different modes of forward operation. Granted, many of those possible modes are ill-advised or even dangerous. But Imagine The Possibilities.

Delinquent Racing's Badger will be at Sonoma. 4/5 of the drivers too.
