Topic: Idea for an additional event

A few years ago, I did the Open Track Challenge.  It involved racing for time at seven different tracks in seven days.  It was great fun.  The idea for Lemons is the set up four tracks, say Pahrump, Willowsprings, Buttonwillow and Thunderhill.  The teams would go, starting at Pahrump, then the next day at Willowsprings, etc.  The track would go live at 9:30 and close at 5, then the team would pack up and go to the next track .  Count up how many miles each team logs.
What do you think?

Make everyone keep the cars street legal and set up a TSD rally between each track to add some interest.

"keep the cars street legal"  Um...I have no title or registration.  Is this for Lemons cars?

Re: Idea for an additional event

Timed public highway events lead to serious accidents. Keep the racing on the track, and I don't have to pick up your remains and bag them.

Kthxbye.

Re: Idea for an additional event

Sounds like fun.....but I'm sure the "fun police" would frown....

I like the idea of you must DRIVE the car the whole way....on the tracks and the commute between tracks.....

Re: Idea for an additional event

I think towing would be required but there is still a lot of logistics and planning involved. 
We did the Open Track Challenge in a 911 twin turbo.  We did drive it track to track.  We put put a LOT of miles on the car.  It was great fun.
