Bring Mueller along. We'll see if it's possible for him to turn right.

[clill]

I'll be there. I hear we are doing away with autocross and going two days of open track. :P

And then you woke up...


:lol:

[RomsMotors]

I will be there again with the LS1olds Cutlass. Maybe by then I'll have a few more upgrades done to the car.

[clill]

I told them to make the track bigger because Steve wants to go faster in order to make up for all the school zone driving.

[66LS7]

I have already confirmed it, he talks in circles.:rofl:

I'm in this year!! Can't wait , I heard last year was awesome!!

[TravisB]

I'll be there. I hear we are doing away with autocross and going two days of open track. :P

they wont do away with coveted autocross, doesnt everyone want to go as hard as they can in second gear and talk about how fast they went around a puch of cones in a parking lot?

I think they should do away with it all together.....:thumbsup:

I'm just guessing but did auto-cross start with the ricers? Our cars are meant to stretch their legs. I remember a picture of Motivator at a good guys auto-cross, it was shot from behind the chain link fence and looked like a caged animal.

Dont get me wrong auto-x can be fun, and when big tracks are not available this type of venue suits its intended purpose.

There are some good things I see with the mixed format, not as hard on the cars, and a more rounded type of suspension test.

[tazzz2_ca]

I'll be there with WarPath and a certain little white 72RS that needs to stretch it's legs this Spring after replacing last years motor...

[796spdbu]

Can anyone attend or is it invite only?

[Bow Tie 67]

Anyone can attend.

[Toadman]

You may have seen me lurking around in my '77 Camaro last year. This year my goal is to finish my LS1 transplant in time to participate!

[mjschneidy]

Would love to come but not sure if I'd fit in.... Actually I've been instructing HPDE events at Gingerman for years, not sure how I keep missing this event, sounds like lots of fun. You guys should try Grattan sometime, its a hoot!

[protour73]

I am still procrastinating!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :beathorse

[69Lt4]

Probably not going to have the car done in time.

Do I need to register if I'm going to be a spectactor and ride along in other participants cars?

Thanks, look forward to the event.

You like cars and racing, whats not to fit in. I for one would love to have an instructor thats familiar with the track. Oh, and you have only missed one, last year was the first event.

Ah that explains it! I'm all signed up for what sounds like the second Motor State Challenge. Hit me up if you'd like me to ride shot gun with you for a few laps, be happy too.

Sounds like Ginerman will have the track extension done so some of it will be new to me. With the longer back straight we should see some interesting speeds, probably 5th gear with my 4:11's.

[clill]

Ok I'm signed up. I can't wait to do the autocross again...

[Payton King]

I will see you there. Suppose to hook up with Ron somewhere in Ohio. Decided I am towing to this event. Not sure my ears can handle 700 plus miles of jamming stereo and loud exhaust. I must be getting old.

[clill]

I'll have a trunk full of dirty laundry etc left over from Power Tour.

[Bow Tie 67]

Smart A**

Jackass? :lol:

What did you say? .............. I did not realize how bad it was until I walked in the door after last years 12 hour drive home from the HRPT and my wife says: Why are you yelling?

[Payton King]

Now you are making me sound like a puss.

Maybe we can get Rupp to bring you a clean pair of underwear

[slenning]

I just got signed up today


I can't wait to do the autocross again...
Me too Charley Me too:lol:

[Jr]

i will be there with a different car as well.

Jake,
What are you working on?

[Steve Chryssos]

Boys and girls. The Second Annual Motor State Challenge is just around the corner. Car counts are coming into focus:

CAR COUNTS:
BBQ/Cruise - June 18th: 75 Cars and counting have signed up for the BBQ/Cruise with more than 130 to 150 fellow pro touring gearheads expected. The Motor State people go so far as to have Fire trucks and police cars close off streets and direct traffic. So the cruise is more like a parade with emergency lights flashing and V8's rumbling.

Road Course - June 19th: Track Day at Gingerman Raceway has 60-65 participants PLUS 8-10 vendor entries.

Autocross - June 20th: Sunday's Autocross already has 50-55 cars signed up plus 8-10 vendor entries.

The Motor State Challenge is affordable and offers seemingly unlimited track time. If you are a spectator, expect to witness nothing less than the most amazing pro touring cars getting thrashed mercilessly all day and all weekend long.

There will be Time Trial competition consisting of lowest combined lap times from the Road Course Quick 16 plus the Sunday Autocross. All participants must complete the cruise and run on minimum 200 treadwear tires. Timing and Scoring as well as Safety scrutineering will be handled by the South Bend Region of the SCCA.

It does not matter if your car is done. Come on out and spectate or catch a ride on one of the cars.

It does not matter where you live. Participants will come from as far as Maine, Florida, and California.

It does not matter if you have 200 treadwear tires. Motor State has agreed to make special, separate "Exhibition" trophies just for the sub 200 TW entrants. You do not need to run out and buy tires.

Everyone is welcome to enjoy or participate in the 2nd Annual Motor State Challenge. Dates are June 18, 19, 20. Keep a lookout here for more details and updates.

We look forward to seeing you out there.
