NEED SOME DONATIONS POSSIBLE, I was looking at all my parts to build a backup motor and noticed that i dont have 2 things, so this is a call for DONATIONS

We need 4 Outter (Black) Water O-rings

We need all of the Tension Bolt O-Rings/washers

I have some but they are questionable, looking for some 2 Piece apex seals

I was actually going to paint it #68 and a half but the Lemons people have already emailed out warnings not to play games with the numbering.

TX Couldn't make it

I had some unexpected guest show up at my house so I couldn't go . I called Chuck, Scott, Phil and Alan but I didn't get any hold of anyone. Did they take your phones when you get there? I would have called Kieth but I don't have his number. I wish I could have gone. I saw a Ghostbuster car there and a lot of 7's as well. From the looks of it I could tell you guys had a blast. I can't wait to hear some of the stories at the next meet.

That was a blast! We are on our way back to Denver. We ran as high as 4th and finished 5th, having never been behind the wall. Woohoo! Looking forward to seeing those pics.

Yes it was, and there was a Glove on the spring with the middle finger waving at you.

Actually that was the nose off the Enzo that Eddie Griffin wrecked at Irwindale Speedway. The grill wasn't a Bentley grill it was a Jaguar grill.

We are already planning the a trip to New Orleans for the Lemons Race in June.

We have the car - but it needs a little repair (my bad), new tires, DUAL stacks this time, train horn, freshened engine...

Next race it will be DAY GLOW yellow and we will secure the banned technology trophy at the very least with our secret weapon.

Learned some great ways to cheat - maybe antique some suspension parts by leaving them outside to rust or maybe spray paint them.

Also looking for a light weight flywheel and maybe an SAFC to hide.

Once we took the flag down I was amazed at how hard the car pulled in the straight. if we just had a little faster acceleration and the car didn't roll so much in the turns....

Honestly I'm more excited about the OH one, i think we should take the 1k+ that the NOLA race would cost and put it into the car to prep it for the real 24 hr race.

^^^ Yep but just because you enter to race doesn't mean you get PICKED to race. I was sweating it out while we were on the Wait List the last time.

well, as long as we enter early i think we'll be good. They'll remember ussince we've done it before and didn't cause toooo much trouble, they should want us back. Tell them how much more halarious our car will be next time. (don't tell them everything though)
