Re: Sonoma: who's in?

I just made room for anyone who's on the waitlist.

I just don't have any disposable cars to enter at the moment.

Re: Sonoma: who's in?

Bodge Engineering will be there, now with 100% more Rover!

We'll be bringing the Rolex ( 1981 Rover 3500 with Lexus V8, #81).

We'll also be debuting our new car, #827 - a 1991 Sterling 827SL with 295K miles on it. What, me worry?

Smoker and the Bandit is 10-8. We'll be smuggling smoked meats through tech and trying to complete a race on one engine, what they say can't be done.

Re: Sonoma: who's in?

Sure, why not.
I changed the Thunderchicken's number to 141 because all the other numbers we ran with didn't work so good.
It had to be the choice of numbers causing all our problems, otherwise some may think the guy building the engines was incompetent.
and yes.I just re-built this engine also.
This is the last time....... I really mean it.

Re: Sonoma: who's in?

Team valiant effort will be there with our painfully slow valiant.  Also since we're trailer deficient at the moment and not very smart we'll be driving the car to the race.

Boooo! Will you be at the track?

The Lancia will be lonely without you sitting on the engine for most of Friday evening trying to get it to work properly.

But we are going to give it another shot.

Notice: we'll be very slow! Please don't crash into us!

Re: Sonoma: who's in?

Hey! Is that where my Biturbo wheels went?

Cheseroo picked them up from some guy who took them off his new Biturbo back in 85...

Nope, I traded those for our race wheels (also Biturbo wheels, but way uglier and 7.5" wide instead of 7"). These are our spares. They're just as nice as yours were though!

Re: Sonoma: who's in?

Picknpull racing is off the waitlist and into the fire.  The wait listing taught us that the Lemons Dons think our theme is too old for our boring car so this will the the last race of the '91 Accord as the Minnow.  Watch for us ton once again DOMINATE the bottom half of B Class.

Re: Sonoma: who's in?

Bringing the white #44 Jetta back, blew the head gasket here in the spring.

Also my old team has repaired the subaru they crashed here last December and will be returning #96. Hopefully they've learned a lesson or two after that.

Re: Sonoma: who's in?

The Tinyvette is in. We've got 6,000 miles on this engine now and it hasn't glitter bombed itself, so it should be able to go another 700-800.

Re: Sonoma: who's in?

#162 (formerly #161) "Measurably Mediocre Motorsports" will be there, come say hi in garage #34

Half of our team recently bailed, so we're down to two drivers for now, but it's the least black-flaggey ones left so there's a silver lining...
