THSCC Forums

Any other traitors going? I hate to miss the VIR event, but I got the LeMons car running again and all of our crew is back for more carnage, so Robert and I are doing LeMons instead. Maybe this time the car will last for the whole weekend.

Magnum PU will be there sans Stephen Westerfield and plus Mitch Moore. I know the dogs, and Grim Reaper are as well. I think the Integrenators are in but haven't talked to Whitney

Yep, the Dorifto Dogs are in again, minus me, plus Cline Hall. I'm bummed, but there are too many obligations for me to make that race right now. Good luck, my brothas.

Since most of my teammates said "February?, it's gonna be cold....." We're out.

Gonna try to hit the other 2 Lemons races at CMP in 2010, and maybe a couple of the Chumpcar races (1 ea at VIR, Rockingham and Roebling)....

That's good, one of our team's strategies involves following Grim Reaper around the track!

I was thinking about Chumpcar, but it's going to have to wait until I get the house painted. If I commit to any more events before I get that done, then it's going to push my wife past the "calling a lawyer" threshold.

Grim Reaper will be there too. Just need to start spending some time getting the car ready to go again. Looking forward to another good race without any penalties. Bummed though that I (and the 5 other team members) will miss the first THSCC event of the year.

If your strategy is to follow us (briefly I expect as a V-6 Mustang is not that fast), I'll spend a little extra time with the baling wire and zip ties so less falls off the car.

I checked out your team website site. Very nice job. At the Sept race, one of our team members (Brian with the cooler cart/penalty magnet) show up in the garage with a mooched bottle of Duff Beer. Said it was good stuff.

the integrenaders currently has only four drivers and no crew. plus one of the drivers may not be able to make it. but the car will have a pseudo-rebuilt engine so hopefully our team name will no longer be applicable. if anyone wants to experience lemons in either capacity drop me a line (jtower at gmail dot com). drivers will have to pony up some cash but crew will not.

Yeah, we were way too aggressive, trying to beat everyone every lap the first time out. Looking back at the video footage, Robert and I spent a lot of time following you and Lightning McQueen around, and in retrospect, following a fast car is MUCH easier than passing a fast car, so we figured we'd find a relatively fast fast and well-driven car, then just follow them around the track and turn some laps without knocking ourselves (or the car) out in the process. I figure the only time that it matters if we're following the fastest car or passing the fastest car is on the last lap, so why kill ourselves during all the other laps.
