Last two were not on the list. Good thing you put it up here.

Are you guys non-flexible on the fixed-back racing seat?

Fixed back is mandatory for safety reasons. Its simply not safe without that. However, I think there would be a few people who would even rent these out. I know its done a few times for the rallies.

Have the fees and schedules been firmed up? Is it possible to enter only one race, instead of the whole season?

Dont see why not, happens all the time, but your biggest expense will be preparing the car...after that you should'nt spend too much per race.

used FISSMEs go for less than a lakh, in this case you are talking at least 7-8 times that cost with some expensive engine rebuilds. Even indian rallying cancelled this class because it was too expensive.

I'm thinking either the Pali Hill / Carter Road / Bandstand circuit (really short) or the Walkeshwar / Ridge Road / Hanging Gardens / Hughes Road / Babulnath circuit for Bombay - would be really wild...

For a really, really short run, one could probably race around Shivaji Park.

If it's gonna happen in / around / near Bombay, I'm in too. Yes, with my Lancer. Yes, with the missing cylinder. Just for the heck of it. viper, heeeere I come...

Odds of winning all depend on how much money we get for sponsorship as the mods are almost unrestricted so take loads of green notes , sponsored cars will run decals of the sponsorer along with other marketing benefits ..
