This was an extremely entertaining event to watch and cover over the last two days. I there was working with autoblog.com doing a LIVEBLOG of the entire event minute by minute. The cars had to be worth less than $500, so there was everything from Pinto's (yes more than one) to a Jeep Cherokee. The was divided into two session adding up to about 15 hours.I plan on competing later on in the year with a team using a gen 2 RX-7.

Here is the Autoblog link for more pictures and the full event coverage..

lol looks like a great way for the white E30 to get a bumper tuck, and I can't believe that the red E30 has kopis on it...

Looks like fun, at least there is a hearse there to take you away if you wreck too badly

Thanks for the pics. Seems like a cool event. Do they also have a car show portion of the competition? Some of these cars are outrageous and would do good for originality. :cool:

Glad to share! There was no car show but walking around the parking lot was like one, there was a real Evo 6 Tommi Makinen Edition to a Lamborghini Murcielago..
