Racing all day.

Guitar Hero on the projector all night.

The Dallas track looks like it will make you puke if you've had too much beer to drink. I should be okay -because I usually haven't had enough to drink.




Looks like its nothing but mean-*** turns!

The NEW Lemon is an 86 and is going to be 25 years old in 2011...

Its getting Texas Antique Plates! Registration is $10 a year. Will be able to drive the car to Lemons Races and RX7 Club events!

The first Lemon is an 88 so it has to wait until 2013.

Yeah, I'd love to drive etc., since I'm actually in Dallas (mid-cities), but I'm kinda bucks-down at the moment myself. Going to have to be a spectator this year.

Lets see your Lemon!

How much cash are you asking from your prospective new teammate?

Might make it an easier sell.

Well dues are 1100 total, so with 4 drivers, thats 275. And help us with fuel, oil, and roll cage, for about 150 each person, so, about 425 or so. 275 to get started though! Also, they will need their own flame suit, gloves, and shoes. Here is the picture

Eagles Canyon Raceway features 2.55 miles, 4 straights over 1,300 feet long, 15 turns, and 70 feet of elevation change.

Man wish I was able to help you guys out and join your lemons team, but don't think I'll be able to get off work. As far as eagles canyon, it's a decent track, the straights aren't as long as they appear to be in the map. definitely lots of elevation changes, the worst part is the road surface which consists of patch jobs here and there creating uneven surface which can get the car a bit slippery at times. Also whatever you do don't go off track, majority of the course is extremely unforgiving and going off will result in a tree, deep ditch, wall.

So far we have only raced Houston three times and Lousyana once - both are really really flat.

Ive heard from others that if you go off track at Eagles Canyon - there are lots of rocks and ugly **** to contend with. I also see that while there are some nice straights - they all seem to have some hard turns at the end

Yeah you'll definitely get to play with some elevation changes then lol. yep, although the straights when you're driving them don't seem that long at all (maybe it's cause i'm used to the really long ones at road atlanta and putnam park lol), but like you said the turns at the end aren't forgiving at all. turn 11 is probably the worst, you mess that up and there's a wall at the end of it you'll smash into that's really close to the track. Hopefully I'll get to come out and watch and meet you guys.

^^^ The Circuit - track layout in Lousyana and where we are going to be racing May 1-2. So far its been our favorite. Basically you just hammer it and haul ***. Its not very technical - we thought turn 4 was the worst. We would drift that turn and if you pulled it off the corner workers at the station there would give you the thumbs up!

Turn 1 is the best. We were hitting it at 100 mph last year. The car is a lot faster now. I can't wait!

hitting 100?
turn 1 wasn't even a turn. you could take the whole track, straiten it out, and destroy that corner at 120+ at WOT.... quit being a girl.

Lets put it this way... Team Sensory Assault is going to assault a sense that we have previously overlooked.

Its still in the design phase but hope to have some pics up as it comes to realization.

We have used this sense, but not this way, most of the time people want to run when this sense is used.

^^^ Not the "pull my finger" sense!

- although technically I guess its going to be assaulted too...

I was referring to another sense.
