I'm bringing a Dodge that is equipped with a turbo, but since Dodge didn't do the turboing themselves, I guess that doesn't count.

No, that counts. Especially if it's a DIY SRT-4-style motor. I've been looking into that option for my CSX.

I'm hoping the Mopar he's boosted is a 440.

Unfortunately, I lack the skill and creativity to make that work. Just a plain force-fed 2 liter.

I'm leaving early in the AM on Thursday from Southern Maryland. Just so I can be there, I'm bringing a '99 Geo Metro with a few tweaks, possibly nitrous.

Dansxr2 you want to caravan down? I'd be happy to have some backup.

I can give you all the needed info on that. If the stars align properly we will be down with a mostly stock 97 neon acr + much ghetto nitrous and some old mustang slicks for the drags

How is the handling?

Not good enough yet. Need some better top mounts and crash bolts or camber wedges. Can't hold my alignment, and I'm ripping the top mounts.

I am also fuel starved on right hand turns, overheating, and a couple bad oil leaks.

We still have a lot of prep work and a few loose ends (literally) to take care of. Getting close! Can't wait to get down there an catch up with all of you.

Just registered our 1994 Celica Chumpcar that we are racing at Sebring for 14 hours the weekend BEFORE the Challenge. Can any say optimistic? I could really use a few extra fingers crossed for this one.

If we blow or ball her up you may see the Amazon again...

When you get to the Challenge, look for the largest guy on the Jeep Cherokee XJ-R team. Grab a beer, and we'll have a chat.
