This is my backup ride.
I thought about the backup ride deal and if it was ok or not to run it if my car died before the event even started. My wife's Acura would be faster and more fun but it's bone stock and IMO that's not in the spirit unless you had a failure right before the event. My jeep has a stroked I6 and the entire drivetrain has been upgraded. I feel it's a more appropriate ride than the Acura since it is modified from the balancer to the rear diff cover. It hits the scales at about 4200lbs with driver and maybe has 240hp at the crank. Maybe it will be the slowest in Dd? Lol

There are some great wheeling opportunities if Dave puts us through downtown Dallas on the way to Ennis!

Maybe I should buy a new boss302 ,add a procharger and go! Would that be ok? I dont think we will ever see a lot of new cars that are not performance based. Thats what power tour is for...

Just remember, there are .45 zones and .22 zones... they'll give you a ticket for shooting a .45 in a .22 zone. Originally Posted by BBR
