      Car Craft RSE

      Just saw in the current issue they're taking applicants.

      Anyone going to try to make the cut?

      I'd like to try competing in slalom/auto-x/road course and braking portions of the RSE.

      But my car isn't pretty enough, gets lousy gas mileage and doesn't even have a radio.

      The first step of becoming a better driver is to attend a track event, time yourself, and realize the fact you really suck.

      I am not sure where you heard this rumor, but RSE XV is on schedule. So send your entries in!

      Here is the link to the rules page, along with an entry form.

      http://carcraft.com/eventcoverage/116_0504_rse/

      Everyone has a chance to be selected, since it will be up to the readers of Car Craft to pick the competitors. Show and shine is only a small portion of the judging and fuel economy is not even considered.

      Evil Spirit was the first entry, according to Frieburger.

      How many cars do they accept? I would like to enter my pick-up, but it looks very stock on the outside.

      Kurt,

      Your turbo pick-up will be a killer vehicle for RSE. Read over the rules on the Car Craft website. I believe this year there will be 7 competitors. In past years, the editors picked the competitors from all the entries. This year, readers will be allowed to pick the car they want to see competing through the Car Craft website.

      Here is some "Retro" RSE coverage:

      RSE 2? 1988

      They are not judging on fuel economy, so don't let that be an excuse not to enter. As for ugly, that is only one part of the competition. You can score dead last in the beauty pagent and still win if your car is put together well and it performs!

      Call me a wuss, but I think I'll pass this time.

      Everything on my car is half-ass'ed right now - temporary tires/rims, temporary suspension setup, temporary brakes, etc.

      I certainly don't want people to think this is the best I can do. That wouldn't be good for future business.

      If CarCraft continues to do RSE, I'll try it when my car is in more satisfactory condition.

      Gas mileage... Yeah... I think they used to. I wonder why they stopped.

      My car is not nice enough to enter. It's more of a driver... when it's running. And my interior is totally in shambles. Too much writing, not enough wrenching.

      I would dearly love to enter my '82 Mercury Cougar sedan in RSE, but I haven't even finished disassembly yet, much less piecing it back together! I have some definite plans as to what I want to do with it, but due to my Dad becoming increasingly ill, I have had to postpone this.
      Maybe next year....................

      Does that mean steering wheel and pedals? Cuz that is all my car will ever have.

      Yeah, it's very unfortunate. I myself don't see a point of spending a lot of money modifying a car if I was afraid of proving its capability.

      I just chickened out this time b/c I haven't spent enough money on my car yet
