Open Track Challenge 2005 - Gonna Be A Hot One
 

I don't know how official the announcement is, at this point. But it looks like August 10-14. Reno-Thunderhill-Willow Springs-Buttonwillow-Buttonwillow. It would have been nice to see California Speedway instead of a second day at Buttonwillow, but they also brought the entry fee down a little.

The Official Link.

Li'l Black Stubby is still considering its class options.

Jack, Why did they change the date? I thought this was a spring event for them. I was hoping to catch you guys when you make the south end of the event.
And remember, dark colors need cold water!

Short Wheel Base RSR... Hmmm..... :D

No idea why they moved the date.

I guess the one benefit of the change is that the picture of my car will stay on their website an extra four months. ;)

Slap some slicks on it next week and see what she'll do.

I think it'll take at least a 1:25 to have a shot at winning Unlimited.

Maybe it's a conspiracy! The corvette guys got together and figured the only way to beat a Air cooled Porsche would be in hot weather.

I'm looking forward to racing at OTC vicariously, anyway. :)

Actually, that's a major advantage for us, and serious problem for them!

Porsches don't overheat. Corvettes and Vipers leak colored fluid when the track temps get above 100.

We've got a lighter car with more rubber, (easier on tires) and no cooling issues whatsoever. This definitely plays in our favor.

Oh thank God for that 37 degree A/C system!

T, your such a show off;)

Hans, you're just jealous 'cause the only A/C you have is that cute little squirt bottle with the built in fan.

;)


Dude, I can't wait 'til we get your car back out on the track! Dave's /6 is being steroided out, and my '69 has gotten quite a few mods as well. It'll be fun when we can all duke it out at Willow with OTR and Alfa Club. Maybe we can all finally breathe down Jack's neck a little, and make better showings in his track videos!

Jack, you need to send that pic into Grassroots (if you haven't already). The like pics of their name on cars and I think they would get a kick out of this one.

Looks like pillow in my office. LOL. Except mine has Flintstone wheels.
