@Tiptoetherat: Not sure of the final standings, but it does seem that you should be able to pick up a rolling chassis of a dirt-track G-body car for well under the $500 mark, then you are just a junkyard drivetrain away.

I'm pulling for the Monte Carlo. At the very least it should win Index of Effluency. Any car my Mom had and I wrecked has my vote.

@CptSevere: A known and ironically well-respected drug-dealer down in those parts ran a sweet A-Body '73 Monte in the Late-70's-Early 80's that was absolutely the opposite of "Let's keep this on the down-low, and not try and attract too much attention to ourselves". It was bright Lime-Green with a white landau top, and he hooned that thing all over So. Az and No. Son. MX. We used to go down to Naco, Son. to drink when we were in high-school, and one night we watched as he totally blew through the Port Of Entry, and as the Customs guys jumped into their cars to give chase, we thought, "Wow, everybody in a hundred-mile radius knows whose car that is, why would you do that?" The next day, business as usual. He told us that he told the cops, "I had a tire that was going flat, and had to get to the gas station before my wheel got ruined". Hmmmm......
I put my money on the Monte as well, they're chosen

@coupeZ600: Yeah, makes me feel like going down to Naco and having a beer at El Parallelo 38 dive bar. Or, of course the El Rey. Fine establishments, but you better watch your ass these days because Naco is crazy dangerous because of the drug activity. I need to go visit the dentist there, but he's only a block away from the border and is still safe. I just need to get the new card and I'll be OK to get back. It's not like it used to be.

@CptSevere: The Naco and Agua Prieta POE's are kind of like a DMZ between the Juarez and Sinaloan Cartels, like the Lukeville/Sonoita POE is between the Sinaloan and Tiajuana Cartels. They're not actively controlled by any Cartel, but there will be hell to pay for anybody who thinks they can carve a little niche market by controlling these seemingly "Open" crossings, hence all that bad shit (Sorry Al, two weeks with no cussing!) that went down in Cananea a year or so ago. Young upstart thought he could be a Player, Juarez came over and whacked his ass in Naco, and the Sinaloans took out the cops that were helping him in Cananea. They both said, "I don't want it, and he don't want it, but You sure as hell can't have it!".

This guy is really cool, and knows a whole lot more about it than I do anymore, but he covers that whole stretch from about Janos, Chih. to San Luis Colorado, B.C.S.

The thing I tell all my friends that have fears of traveling in MX, is that ALL the Cartels make a point of not killing civilians, least of all tourists, it's horrible P.R. So stay away from drugs no matter how tempting or innocent it might appear, and your chances of ending up in a cross-fire between whoever will be no greater than if you were in the U.S. (unless you're in Tombstone..... Man, they shoot guns right in the street all day long!)

A former friend (now acquaintance, we've drifted apart) has restored a white '84 Monte... I'm rooting for it for his benefit.

i heard an interview by TrackGeeks with the Monte guys, they are from Salem, VA I think they said--they have a lot of determination!

Man, I vote on making LeMons illegal. If they keep this up, we won't have any more Fox Body Mustangs and SHO Taurus'. I jest, and think it would suck to not be allowed to strip down American iron and thrash them around the track.

I would like to see more Tempo though. I guess if you want things done right, you've gotta toss in an SHO into a '93 Tempo two door and do it yourself.
