Excellent! The Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys will be there. This will be an easy and convenient event for us as our Super High Impact Team will be right in the middle of an extended testing season at the Nürburgring.
@Bret: remember, the 604 is basically the same as a 505 (and a 504) under the skin... when the works-backed 604 crashes, the Surrender Monkeys can cannibalize it for parts.
@Armand Bengle: Thanks! That's assuming Pujo! doesn't fail spectacularly on the first lap. And that we make it to the event with truck, trailer, and Pujo! all safe and intact.
I have already signed up as an unpaid mechanic for the Hotchkiss-Grégoire. Unpaid, except for my haute-couture Hotchkiss-Grégoire-Jalopnik-Gold overalls, that is.
@Vexorg: Sure, but you're going to need a catastrophic drive shaft or U-joint failure. And it won't be near as graceful. But you will likely end up upside down.
I assume all the con-rod chunks, mulched transmission components, and spilt fluids that the LeMons racers will leave scattered across the back half of the Mulsanne Straight will be left there to make the main event more interesting?

As the driver of a '96 Miata, I can safely say that the description of the '94 is accurate. We '96 drivers, on the other hand, are the true connoisseurs of light weight sports cars. Those '94 drivers are philistines with their six fewer horsepower and interior rear view mirrors that are affixed to the windshield header and not glued to the windscreen as God intended.
I see you are not impressed. We shall settle this on the autocross course. Would you care to step outside, into the parking lot?
@Thrashy, Slayer Of Cones: I was gonna say something mean and petty about a trailer towing package, but I won't. That would just make me...mean...and petty.
@milo_carrera--eyepatch-free since 1982.: I used to say that my '96's R package was actually not installed, but the prototype Z-71 package was put on instead. The car sat so high that it towered visibly over my '92.
Oh and @Thrashy, hitter or Cones: We speak reverently of Hollis our father of STS2, and gladly accept the whoopins ladled by him in the hope of further knowledge to be gleaned.

Maybe both, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Unless, of course, Lancias, Citroëns or old Japanese sedans are included.
