I'm 100% in. It'll either be exhibition class for me in the RX-8 or the F-150 (which will be 3" lower than stock by the time of the rally). Unless I can find a sub $1000 Honda Ruckus...

Hahaha, that sounds like a challenge.

I may or may not have access to a rusty as gently caress E36 328is auto on eBay coilovers for basically free. I always wanted to know what a Bavarian inline 6 with zoomies sounded like. I also found another megasquirt while cleaning up my garage.....

I wonder if I could actually top Sweet Chili Heat?

Either works. It's party before or after really since I/We will be coming from Edmonton.

With the June dates, the wife and I are thinking RX-8 in exhibition class. It'll have the cat removed by then so we can keep the tradition of fire breathing rotaries going. Plus with the Bilsteins on stock springs, it's riding an inch higher than stock.

So it's looking like I might be running the exhibition class on a Honda Grom unless my wife can get the time off, then we'll be taking the fat Mustang.

That mustang is loving awesome.

Now for the not so awesome. I'm going to be running the 734 portion of the FTR this whole week! For work! And I won't be back in town until, well I actually have no idea.

Combined with me having to drop $3k on fixing the meter deep voids under my driveway so my garage doesn't sink and detach from house and well, I think you can see where this is going.

Unfortunately I'm going to have to drop out of the rally this year.

I'm sorry.

I will do my best to get pictures of the northern portion of the FTR. Consider me your pre-runner.

Don't hold onto it for me but I'll put it up on the possible bad decisions board next to buying a K-Pipe and keeping the van if you have trouble selling it. Part of me wants to relive my youth of driving a Ford landbarge as a winter beater.
