With some luck and a couple of cans of spray paint, look
for us at the GRM $1500 Challenge in the "MG13B",
that is, a junkyard MGB powered by a junkyard streetported
13b rotary with all the junkyard tricks. We are already
registered but what remains to be seen is whether or not
we can actually get the car together!

For those of you who don't subscribe to GRM, the $1500 Challenge is
basically a contest to see who can build the best production-based race
car for $1500 or less. The cars will be judged in 3 events: a drag race,
an autocross, and a concours judging. Those who suck at autocross can
opt to have multi-time solo champ Danny Shields drive their car for them.
All cars must be road-worthy (headlights, brakelights, mirrors, turn
signals, windshield), and can't be single-seaters or tubeframe cars. Any
engine swaps are legal... mods are pretty much unlimited within the $1500
budget. So far, I only have about $250 in the Mazda, so I have quite a
bit of room left. More details are available on their website at
www.grmotorsports.com.
Thanks again,
