Lost N spaced finishes 2nd place.

That is now a 2nd in 2004 1st in 2005 and 2nd in 2006.

Privately funded all amatuer racer team...

3 of the 4 drivers are current/former GGR TTers and AXers.

2 of the 3 drivers have been TTing/Axing for the same amount of time I have.

Pretty good considering there were over 50 cars this year. Many of factory teams including 2 factory backed BMW turbo diesels.
Many many professional drivers in very fast cars...but they couldn't beat a 32 year old street legal 911. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Need a race liscense and 8 races under your belt. entry fees are about $1100 per team. Brad's number of $20k for the event seems about right to me. With a car, 4-5 paying drivers, a volunteer crew, and a bit of sponsorship, it seems very realistic.

btw, grant, i have my '07 race schedule now...



20K seems a little high. We were talking about it on the way home from this year's race, and figured it would be about 6K to campaign the M3 Lightweight that we came in 2nd with last year. That is for fuel, tires, entry fees, and doesn't include rooms, food, paying the crew guys anything. That's just getting the car on the track. But I don't imagine the other things could add up to more than a few thousand more.

I hope you guys can get it together. It would be so cool to see a 914 out there!
