<p>If it happens and the engine seems solid after I give it a hard test drive, someone may find an overlooked supercharger and intercooler in the parts bin. I can't risk wasting such a jewel if it isn't useful, though.<br>
The groups that do autocrossing are the Tennessee Valley Region of the Sports Car Club of America and the Twickenham Auto Club. I'm in both.<br>

<p>I have been on the email list for years, but don't post often.
I also don't spend time at the shop, even though I live only a

this post.<br>
I have been to a Lemons race at Sebring. There are fun cars
that don't take themselves seriously, and there are race cars
with serious drivers that take advantage of the rules to drive
fast, expensive cars. There are loopholes in the $500 limit
that allow drivers to race BMWs and Porsches that look like they
should be in a professional event. However, if a team is racing
for fun and not upset by winners in $10,000 cars, it could be a
total blast.<br>
If some of you are seriously interested in entering the 24 Hours
of Lemons, or the Chump Car Series, I can provide a car that
will qualify after a rebuild. I bought it with this in mind,.
It is a 1977 MG Midget 1500.<br>
If any of you are serious enough about a Maker Racing Team to
put some work into it, we could race next season, and maybe even
get some autocross runs in it this season. Lemons requires a
minimum of four drivers, and a pit crew would be needed. I'll
be one driver, so we need at least three more. I believe six
drivers is the max.</p>

is the 24 Hours of Lemons? See <a href="http://24hoursoflemons.com/" target="_blank">http://24hoursoflemons.com/</a>
for details, but, in short, it's racing crap cars on a real
race track to see who can make the most laps.

<div>More than 50 teams will race $500 junkers around the
Barber track in Birmingham. I'm going to watch the folks
try and hold their rustbuckets together against all odds.
Some teams have ideas so crazy they just might work, like
using an airplane wing as a spoiler.</div>
