24 hrs of LeMons
I LOVE IT!!!
I see there are a few others in the surrounding, the interior plans should be,
1) See witch MH in the area is the best
2) Wait untill they go fly somewhere
3) Remove all the stuff from that MH
4) Install it into yours
5) Relax from your hard work.

Imagine the lemon car on a much larger scale and much tighter budget.
And chuck, I've already been working on that, I've got one baggage compartment full of appliances I raided and another full of trash that I removed from the interior.
Yesterday -
Yanked the 4 lug subframe and open diff. Replaced it with a turbo subframe, 5 lug, and LSD.
Yanked the engine. Pulled the oil pan and resealed with Right Stuff and oil pan brace. Changed out the NA flywheel and clutch for a turbo flywheel and clutch.
Removed the old transmission. Hope to have pics of the carnage inside soon!

RV looks awesome. The last couple races I have had to sleep in our car trailer with an air mattress. Heat is key.
Have you guys considered running with CumpCar as well (www.chumpcar.com)? They have a bunch of races in your area. More racing!
I'm preping an FC too for the west coast events (www.roadtochumpcar.com).

If the new price is still too daunting, an even bigger bargain comes in the shape of the shuttle's engines - no longer required once the craft is in a museum. The agency offered them for sale at between $400,000 and $800,000, but there were no takers. They are now offering them free, to anyone with the ability to take them home.

I knew you couldn't resist....
Couple of Shuttle engine facts:
The maximum equivalent horsepower developed by the three SSMEs is just over 37 million horsepower. So you figure one has to be good for like 12.3 million HP. That'll do right?
Although not much larger than an automobile engine, the SSME high-pressure fuel turbopump generates 100 horsepower for each pound of its weight, while an automobile engine generates about one-half horsepower for each pound of its weight.

Only 4 more weekends to work before the race.
Plan is to have the engine and trans back in the car and it sitting on its own feet before this weekend is over.
This will give us 3 weekends to test the new drivetrain and fix any problems.
SO - who wants some this weekend? Saturday and Sunday - rain or shine.

I want to see what the Colder than Air Intake does actually.
