Re: Chihuahua Express 2013 or USA Invades Mexico with $500 cars! Bad IDEA

We have to be in Chihuahua on Thursday AM.  We usually spend the night on a boarder town on Wednesday and drive over first thing.

Wed afternoon we secure all our paperwork so Thursday we just get in and go.  I guess we'll see you Tuesday afternoon.

How's that?

Re: Chihuahua Express 2013 or USA Invades Mexico with $500 cars! Bad IDEA

It appears they have added an additional driving stage...

Organizer Chacho Medina has announced that the cars will be invited to run an optional “pre-qualification” stage on a 13 KM stretch of the original Pan Am Highway just north of Chihuahua the city on Thursday morning.  This is just about all that is left of the original highway from Chihuahua to Juarez.  It will offer some of the locals a chance to see these cars in action.

More seat time for free!

It's speed trials to kind of get the cars in order:   Fastest-slowest - NSF. 

3-4 will crash or blow up.  So we have that going for us.

Mike Feezor from TX is the second lemony team.

.  We'll decide the order in Mexico over a few beers.  It'll more than likely be you/Scott first, Billy second day and a driver to be named later for the third day.

Fly into Chihuahua, rent a Hertz car, buy the insurance, get a fast car.  If we blow up we can finish the race in the "tour class" with a rented car.

So-long crappy paint job.  I sold our first lemon, an 84 Honda, for scrap yesterday.  I gave DC the $250 and gave him carte blanche (up to $250) to fix and paint the 65 Barracuda.  Your ideas are welcome.  If any of you B's have artistic ability and can give some nasty - creative ideas, we're all ears.

I like vintage but original ideas.  NSF Racing should be on there somewhere.
