I used to be in Twickenham, but when they stopped doing the
autocross, I lost interest.<br>

<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 few blocks away. I apologize in advance
if I'm out of line with 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>

<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>
