For those who aren't familiar, the Lone Pine Autocross is held annually at the abandoned air strip across the road from the former Manzanar camp right outside of Lone Pine, CA. Its a brutal event, mostly because the weather usually sucks. Its either too hot, too windy, or both. Also the condition of the tarmack is bad.
It is however a blast. Its one of thsoe events that you both love and hate at the same time. At this year's event the general consensus was "Lone Pine SUCKED, it was awesome!" Dates are June 2-3, cost is $60 for two days, $40 for one. Registration Forms are here. Last year, the 914club made an appearance, with Howard and Allan participating. Like I mentioned earlier, the beater challenge requires some preparation. Basically you have a budget of lets say $500 to acquire and race prep a car for the event. This is especially fun when multiple drivers share a single car. You can really compare driving skills and you get a ton of track time. Track time is one of the big benefits of this event. Assuming you can withstand the weather, you get a LOT of laps in over the two days. Night-time runs are not sanctioned, but no one is going to stop you. So start saving those bald tires!!! -Tony |

QUOTE(TonyAKAVW @ May 8 2007, 04:16 PM)  I've got a turbocharger from a 1.8 liter Subaru motor. Wonder if that would spice things up for the 1.5 L motor? Sounds like you have enough work as it is. If I get my front radiator installation done in time I can come out and help you. I still think you should chop the roof line off and make it into a Tercel Speedster, aka Terdster. -Tony I've got a pair of TD04 (stock WRX turbo's) sitting on the shelf... Twin Turbo 1500CC turdster?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/309.gif) What can i do to help????????? |
