^^^ Too bad really we never got the hot (or cold) tub filled.
I had a baaaad feeling about filling that thing up with about 3000 lbs of water directly above the 5th wheel on a 3/4 ton truck - and then traversing down the big *** hill to our paddock area. Especially since we had some ghetto *** spare tire on one side already.
On that note - anyone ever changed a flat tire at 3AM in the boonies that was so shredded and fucked up you had to use a four way, a big *** hammer, a prybar, and a sawzall?
We have.

Haha I can only imagine how many laps they'd penalize you for if you brought an FD there. I was talking to one of the miata guys out there and they got pegged almost 700 laps due to it being in such good condition and worth way more than $500. But hey if you don't care and are just there to have fun like they were then who cares!
I have found video,
This is Scott in the car at the start of Sunday, it is still cooler outside so the car isnt having the cooling issues yet so he is doing his thing. The Ribs are also cooking

Damn.......
.......Scott that was some decent driving lol. You don't realize how fast the lemon is until you see some race footage against the other cars. What was the camera car it kept up pretty good considering it was chasing you guys. I think it was number 49 I believe.

^^^ Automatic starters fit the T2 transmission. How about that ****?
The Lemon has a (dead) automatic starter on it now. I bought it off the forum for 20 something bucks shipped and its probably an original starter from the late 1980's. I have NO IDEA why it might have failed.
Anyhoo - I'll take all the donated starters we can get - T2 or automaic. We have terrible luck with them.

^^^ Nah, the one we killed I bought from someone else. It worked for as long as any of the others have lasted. 
Yours is going on the car next but we still want a backup or two.
