As some of you may have heard, Tim (team owner, chief mechanic, crew chief, driver and all 'round flunky) has been tapped to participate in the Chihuahua Express rally in Mexico. He will be co-driving in the 1968 Porsche 911 pictured here.Chihuahua Express is based out of the city of Chihuahua, and runs three days. It is like a stage rally in that cars race one at a time on closed public roads. Each day the rally heads in a different direction, traveling out to a lunch break, then back to Chihuahua over the same closed roads.
Originally the Mexico event was scheduled for April 12-14, the weekend prior to the Road America ChumpCar race. Organizers of Chihuahua Express have moved it back a week, to April 19-21, the same weekend as RA-CCWS.
Unless someone wants to buy the Fart-hinder Saab (price is at $2400 including many spares), or rent it and do all the necessary work before then, it will not be at Road America.
If it has not been sold, we may enter the race at Brainerd in July. Anyone who wants to drive needs to let Tim know before mid-April. ChumpCar has changed their entry fees and the number of drivers required. If there are three drivers, plan on $1000 per driver for fees and expenses. If there are four drivers, that drops to $750 apiece. A deposit of $100 required by April 16.
