Last Week at the House of DriftDrift: Hey Herb. How are the Ecotecs coming? Dirt and Skunk are really pleased with the power and reliablity. It seems that they haven't been able to blow one up yet. Dirt's almost mad. He's the kind of person that could break an anvil. It's become personal I think.
Herb: That's good. We have a rep to keep. We aren't building Nitro motors here. But I'm getting bored. Now that everything is ironed out, there's nothing new to have to figure out. I need a challenge.
Krista: (walking in the clean room) That's good. I've got one right here. It seems we may have an undercover assignment. Its a letter from a Mr. C, Mr. S and Mr. TT. They seem to be interested in providing us with a substantial check for an equally huge tuning job. (Handing Drift the envelope)
Drift: Whooa its a check for a quarter mill. What's going on here. (reading) We are interested in seeing what a few certain cars can do in the hands of a skilled professional.
Herb: Maybe they should have sent it to Serial?
Drift: Ladies and Gentlemen ex
zip-it B.
(back to the letter) Enclosed is a check you should find that should cover your expenses and then some. This is not a public event. So keep a low profile.
The challenge is to see what these cars can do on a world class European track. We like the spirit of the Late Model Muscle Series so those rules will apply.
The cars are the
Mustang GT, Shelby Mustang GT-500, Saleen S-281, and the SVT Mustang Cobra R. If you can get one, the
Saleen S-281E is also legal as long as it can stay within the series rules.
The track is
Nurburgring Nordschlef. The times set there are the World's Standards of performance cars. We want to see how they can stack up against the world, given the right tune. You have a week to Saturday, March 22.
Krista: It looks like its time for the marathon track. I just hope we can keep them together.
Herb: That shouldn't be a problem. Keeping them on the track, that may be another thing.
Chigger: (from the other side of the door) I think its time for the three B's. Brats, Beer, and Babes.
So the challenge is on
Nurburgring
