Who's going to LeMons? 2/19-20/2011

We'll be there in garage bay #2 with the Duff Beer car. Stop by for a bottle of home brew if you're there. I finally bought a tow vehicle, so I don't have to drive the race car there and back. Our goal is to have the car make it through one whole day without the engine blowing up, preferably the first day.

the integrenaders will be making their triumphant return in two weeks, in fact i just drove our backup motor home from whitney's house. although we're also hoping to make it through a weekend without blowing up a motor, so far we're 0 for 2, maybe 0 for 3 considering we actually destroyed two motors at the last race.

note that driving your lemons car to the race is seriously demented.

Driving it to the race actually isn't too bad, although it isn't too good either. Driving it back home after the race seriously sucks. I'm usually half dead from fixing the car while drinking beer all night and then driving on Sunday, and sleeping at a rest stop in the racing seat is not particularly restful. This will be my first race with a tow vehicle and I'm really looking forward to it. This is also our first race (out of 5) with a garage bay. It's going to be much easier to swap the motor out of it Saturday night in a dry garage bay.

Jason, did you guys put the rear bumper back on like I told you? If not, you will fail tech. The rules have changed since you guys ran last.

Magnum, PU with be there for our 7th race in our Prelude, but this time we have moved down to garage bay #7.

Hopefully the weather will be better this year than it was last February. Fingers crossed!

The Dorifto Dogs will be there. Our drivers are Walter Houston, Sean OConnell, Colin OConnell and yours truly. I think we are in bay 4

OK, just keep in mind with the new rules you aren't allowed to remove a factory crumple zone. IOW, you need the whole assembly, not just the plastic bumper cover.

Have fun boys! I was gonna come to watch everyone but had to decide between Kershaw, SC and Las Vegas NV. Sorry Vegas won! Good Luck everyone!

Yep, the whole metal piece is going back on, but not the plastic cover. I'd be surprised if the cover is needed, but we'll bring it just in case.

You planning on running into us or something?

We are passing on this race to run Chump Car at Rockingham in March. Good luck to all the THSCC teams. We'll be back at CMP in May when the weather is warmer!

cant ask for much better weather than highs in the mid 60's and lows in the 40's with 0 percent chance for precipitation.
