Lemons CMP in Sept - Who's in for the race?

Who all is in for the September Lemons race at CMP?

Grim Reaper Racing might be there.... After a 10th place finish at Summit Point our car took a beating like a rented mule. Hoping to have all the busted and bent stuff fixed in time for the race.

The Duff team is registered. We've gotta survive Chump first. (granted, we have a spare, well, everything.)

Good luck at VIR! See you at CMP.

I am going to try to go as a spectator. I will be all healed up before then.

Since we finally have our Magnum, PU Prelude up and running again, we'll be doing the 24 Hour with Chump at VIR instead of Lemons CMP.

Good luck to you Grim Reaper and Duff Beer guys at CMP!

Going to miss giving you point bys all day long....

We survived the 24-hour Chump race and the car is running really well, so we'll be there. It'll be nice to drink beer and sleep at night for a change.

Are you guys camping out or hoteling it? If hotels which one?

Roger McDaniels · **Posted:** Wed Aug 15, 2012 8:28 pm

Camping, CMP is usually nice and cool at night. Shower the night before; there can be quite a line in the morning.

Glad to hear there will be other THSCC representation at the race. We like this format too, sleep and beer have become more important as we get older (and smarter).

Hoteling in here. The wives, kids and dogs made this call....

Grumpy old Men are in.... rebuilt the engine added idiot lights for water,oil,and shifting. Maybe we'll run a full race this time.

I need idiot lights; I only have gauges now for oil temp/pressure and water temp. What do you use for an idiot light that let's you set a pressure/temperature threshold?

the gauges in simon do that, they're kinda expensive but they're programmable with stepper motors. marshall is the brand i think, mike would know for sure

I found them, and yes, they are expensive, $120/gauge vice the $11/gauge set that we use.

When I got the first set, they were $180 for all 3 - water T, oil T, and oil P. Bought a second set a few months back and they were a bit more, but not $120 each ... try calling matt's bowties, they have always been the cheapest I can find -- http://www.mattsclassicbowties.com/.

It's the Marshall SCX series.

For a full sweep electric gauge, they are still a deal compared with other stuff out there...
