Topic: The Pitt Maneuver '24 @ PittRace, April 13-14 - Entry & Tech Times

What could be better than two Cordobas? You know the answer.

The answer is THREE CORDOBAS.

The newcomer is the first 1980s Cordoba along with the first Kia Spectra5 and Chevy Cruze in Lemons. This might also be the first time we have two post-2000 Mitsubishi Eclipses at the same race. I'm sure the newer one will be much better.

(Probably easier to read the Excel version here.

Just look forward to the car show outside the judge box Saturday afternoon when they all start to get parked for "I had the line" penalties.

There is a Passat Wagon in California.

Also, tech times are determined by when you pay. Don't like it? Pay earlier.

Man I get nervous a week before the race... Cant sleep.   I love it -  but worrying about everything that can go wrong is painful. Once their on the track ( big assumption) its so much easier . Then there is nothing more I can do, and the racing Fates will decide the day.

We've had a B5 Passat Wagon and a B4 Passat TDI, but not a B4 Passat Wagon TDI.

I appreciate your WELLAKSHUALLY-ing.

It's an important distinction when it comes to rarity, valuableness, and fuel capacity!

My buddy and I are coming to our first race as spectators to Pitt Maneuver this weekend. We plan to start racing next year and are scoping out the event. We will probably be annoying all the judges and teams all weekend! Look forward to meeting you all!

Look for me in a chef hat. Should be some food to share and definitely lots of coffee.

What about the TDI powered 911?

tSoG still has it, AFAIK, though a couple of the TDI whisperers who want a piece of it should be around.
