Dammit, I really wanted to check out the first Lemons race in my neck of the woods but some dumbass put it on the same weekend as the Indycar race at Texas Motor Speedway. I'd go to the Lemons on sunday, but I know from experience that all day at TMS on Saturday is going to wipe me out, and I'm going because I have free tickets...
i was out there today for a couple hours, saw you guys get towed off once :P
it was an experience lol.
when i got home my accords engine was spewing out smoke from burning oil. i think it caught a disease from your LeMons! D:
also. what happened to yalls hood?

I thought you were going to coordinate with me to go today, thanks 4 nothing, ****.
Whoa whoa whoa! your phone doesn't work remember! I sent you a message last night saying that I was leaving at 11 to catch the end of it and you didn't reply back so figured you didn't want to go. Then you sent me an email saying your phone didn't work wayyy after I got back. You can't pin this one on me old man!
but it was on the hill right behind the pit lane exit, farthest shady spot to the left(or right depending on your perspective)
we left at like 1ish because we didn't come prepared. no seats or water is bad.
me and two of my friends were sitting on the grass under some shade producing poles and tarp, they were held together with duct tape in some places lol.

you were standing on your cars roof werent you?
my friend was like "did he just show up to take pictures?"
cuz you just like drove up, took a bunch of pictures then drove away.
we were up there at 10:30, so after 4 ish hours, water starts to sound reallllllllll nice.

That was me getting towed off. The alternator bit the dust, and after i took a turn just a tad too fast and spun it out, she wouldn't start back up again. I'm sure they will chime in and tell y'all all about it!
After all that Im definitely going to try and field a team for Houston, hopefully by September things will have cooled down a bit....
We didn't come home empty handed. We FINALLY collected the hundred bucks from Jay he bet us several races ago. We had zero trips to the penalty box!
Oh yeah - we have added the fourth trophy to our collection: Most Heroic Fix
Our electrical system was d-e-a-d. Starter was a quitter and the car's battery was so dead the car couldn't be push started. SO - Chuck hooked the jumper cables to a battery on the golf cart and push started the car WITH THE GOLF CART DRIVING BESIDE THE CAR.
Had a great time visiting with everyone that came out.
I'm really kind of disappointed that I never could keep the generator running, the air horns horny, and the air brake braking. There has to be about 50 points of failure in that mess we carry in the back of our car but thats why I LOVE IT!
At the very least, we did get mad kudos from Jay for the ribs we cooked on the exhaust.
Albert - if you ever get the Rabid Beaver car running, promise me I get to take a lap in it. Oh yeah - I'm going to pay your *** back and rub off YOUR mirror on the car next to me.
We have a long list of stuff to do now before the September race in Houston.
Jay quit looking at all the clever diversions we placed in the car and decided he wanted some modifications done to our cage.
Our windshield needs replaced. I guess we need to find the cheapest one in Houston. Anyone know a super cheap place to come out and replace it? We don't even care if it leaks obviously. As long as it doesn't fall out when we stop, its all good.
We need ANOTHER starter. WTF???
Alternator seems to have quit on us.
Our cooling system needs looked at. It didn't like the 100+ degree weather and being driven briskly up hills.
I think a valet (or Albert) fucked up our front wheel somewhat in a small collision.
*I* am investing in a cool suit and a multi-layer driving suit so I can legally ditch the nomex underwear. For the record - it was sooooo ******* hot, I was secretly not wearing any underwear!

it was a blast getting out there and meeting you guys. those ribs were tasty
We took the hood of and made a plywood panel to keep air from flowing up an over the radiator. It took the temps down about 15 to 20 degrees actually.
We need a 2nd gen automatic transmission starter OR a turbo starter. Either will work.
Chuck ran out of gas about 2 laps short of the checkered flag. I saw him go by the front straight in what sounded like 7th gear since the car was running on fumes. He made it a little further and the car crapped out on the wrong side of the blind turn in the back.
Just so no one would nail his *** coming from over that hill, he steered it pretty far off course and I was hoping for at least a good grass fire - but no luck, they just left him there until the race was finished. Hey - I was there with my kids when he was towed in and we gave him a standing ovation!
