Yes that's right a TEAM Autocross Event.

At this point it's just a wild idea but I'd like to test the waters  
here on the list to see if there would be any interest in driving a  
car around the cones that has left side steering but right side  
pedals.  This car is a 2002 350 Z 6 speed that has been altered to the  
prior mentioned configuration.   I haven't seen it yet but that's the  
gist of it.

Why in God's name would anyone take a real nice sports car and make it  
so that two people are required to drive it you might rightfully ask?   
Well here's the answer.  The goal is to get onto Top Gear and have  
celebrity teams use this car for a race.  Yup that's it.  A celebrity  
auto stunt two-person race.  Apparently there's millions to be  
made....not apparent to me but WTH.

So knowing the young neighbor that created this concept (I actually  
powder coated some parts for him...Thx FT), I thought this might be a  
fun event to try after the VTR autocross in Breckenridge this year.   
Hopefully we could have teams take some timed runs after the official  
autocross and see whose team can two-person drive through the cones  
the fastest.

This could be your chance to get in on the next big thing...or not.   
Any Teams that want to sign up?  I certain you'll have to sign your  
life away on a disclaimer, etc..  What better way to cement a  
friendship/marrige than trying to both drive a car at the same time?   
This would not be an official event and nothing but bragging rights  
will be awarded.

I've been invited to do a test ride so I'll let you know how that  
goes.  Let me know if there's any interest and I'll see what I can do.

Thanks
