They're talkin' about making the November "Lousyana" race a full 24 hours long. I am definitely down for that. I know the car can do it but can we?

I am totally amazed at how long a rotary will last when you just beat the S**T out of it.

You will need two sets of tires. Minimum. Lousyana is TOUGH on tires. Tires run about $500 a set by the time you get them shipped and mounted. $500 x 2 = $1000

Bridgeported motor ate 165 Gallons of fuel in Dallas and we sat out a lot of time because we kept overheating... so figure 330 gallons x $2.60-ish a gallon right now = $858.00

Thats about $300 in expenses when divided by 6 drivers. Plus $200 in Lemons fees per driver...

$500 per driver plus getting there and living expenses...

Who is IN?

^^^ http://www.24hoursoflemons.com/yeehaw2010.aspx

"MSR is a half-hour from downtown Houston on Highway 288, about 13 miles south of the Highway 6 interchange. From 288 South, take the South CR48 (not regular CR48) Exit and head toward that big racetracky-looking thing."

OR - Just go until you see the big *** power lines over 288 and turn left.

Just got the email from Lemons HQ.

It is OFFICIAL. The November 20-21 race in Lousyana is going to run 24 Hours STRAIGHT! 3PM Saturday until 3PM Sunday

Only thing that sucks is that this means no Saturday Night Drag Races.

So I was thinkin... since we can't drag race Saturday Night.... the only thing to do is race IN DRAG the whole race! I bet Phil already has a few pairs of pumps in his closet that will fit us.
