The Grim Reaper Racing Mustang will be there with our sister teams (Austin Marina and radioactive Mustang). After the last couple years of finishing second or third we are looking to improve. If we could win A class, we'd be the only team to have won every class and the IOE in Lemons history.

Duff Beer will be there. We'll have some Stout and some Jalapeno Ale and a race car if I can get it put back together. We're looking to try to win Class B again if we can bribe our way back in to it.

Good luck with that, I have been trying to get back in B class since we won it. Something about us having a B class car but finishing second or third in every race the last few years makes getting back into B class out of the question. You might get lucky and get a guest Judge and be able to talk them into it.

Since the Magnum, PU Prelude is officially dead, it won't be there. :( I will be however, running as a guest driver with Team S.O.B in their VW. See, I don't mind driving a German car, I just don't want to own one!

Rings are toast again, cylinders are scored, blah, blah. Too much coin for a platform not supported by Honda.

Not working on it, or at least I hope! I just a 'hired gun' for this race.

Yeah, motor v3.1 is dead. It didn't even make it thru the HPDE at CMP.

When you find yourself in a hole, step 1 is


STOP DIGGING

2nd-gen Escorts with the 1.8 seem to do well, and they don't get sweated at BS.

Duff Beer, now with labels! This is a stout with extra oats for thickness/smoothness and black malt for darkness.
