Sounds like fun.

looks like a blast.
from the rules:
"THE CAR ITSELF

The vehicle must cost less than $250. If you did not purchase the car you must provide a signed witness statement from someone stating that they feel $250 is on the expensive side as a valuation for your car."


i would guess that there will be many mgb's then.

That's pretty funny, and the money's going to a good cause.

I wonder how long the jubilation lasts upon crossing the finish line, before realizing that your $250 rolling death trap has to get you back to New York? (Or wherever your final destination may be....)

 

[DavidDeutsch]

I'm thinking that it maybe best to "donate" the car to an organization in Nawlins and arrange alternate homeward transportation. Got my eye on a "make b/o" 1971 AMC Hornet that's parked not so far here. Looks like heck but in this case, I think it could be a contender.

I assume you are Spridgets Unlimited, so what are you driving? I'm looking in the want ads as we speak. This looks like a blast. I'm voting for a 2wd Chevy C10 with a 350, my girlfriend wants to take a jeep and to honor my father I need to find a Dodge Dart with a slant 6, (or a Plymouth Valarie wagon for the tools).

 

[DavidDeutsch]

Easy now Chris, I own a 1973 4 dr brown Dodge Dart Custom w/ a slant 6 and it's worth 2x the $1,100 dollars I paid for it.

Tempting.
Some of my students have already bugged me about this one (three of them took 5th place in the GrassRoots $2003 Challenge).
There's no shortage of suitable cars (I live in NJ.....many cars here are worth less than $250 after 3 or 4 years on our roads). We'll see......

Coming through Nashville on May 27 - will have to try to cheer 'em on.

The rally doesn't really say it goes to any cause. Entrants are welcome to donate but I don't see where the actual organizers do anything for charity.

"The challenges do not, however, involve doing anything dangerous... Safety is important at all times."

Isn't a $250 (or less) car considered dangerous?
