Lemons races are so great. Definitely one in my future.

Loved the video of the car with the siren, Connor. That guy was just walking (and pushing!) his way through that field . . .

 

I bet your exhausted sean. What was the result?

 

26 out of 98, 8th in class. Not bad considering we literally spent all our time just trying to get through tech and did nothing to make the car faster...and had a string of bad luck (I got black flagged four times, twice by mistake and once for "bad luck"). We didn't even have a chance to align the car. One of our drivers smashed in the front end and the car actually handled better afterwards

Sooo soo fun. Aiden and Mark put together a car that ran like a top, drank gas like a fine whisky and passed tech with flying colors. Finished 26th out of 98, really pretty outstanding considering we did zero performance mods to the car and weren't even able to align the front end. With fewer cooks in the kitchen and a junkyard turbo setup I think we can do top-10 for sure! Oh and fewer black flags. I got black flagged 5 times, Mark two or three, Aiden two or three...haha. Although three of my flags were mistakes on the organizer's part and once was "bad luck dude!" wneddance

This dick tailed me the whole way up:



Aiden worked hard:


Heh..."Butt"


Midnight in the parking lot of the Motel 6:



Denny's




Not one, but TWO FIAT X1-9s.


Looked fast...was slow:


"Hans Am"










PITA Volvo:



Fast DSM, broke often


Mad Maxish Supra that pitted next to us. It had nitrous for both the car and driver:






Spy Vs. Spy MK1 GTIs:

 

"Molly Maid" MX5





Hondarossa...hit me in my 2nd session :woot










I wanted to claim this thing...he wisely did not show up for day two wneddance




The final three laps had two cars fighting head-to-head for the lead--in a 12 hour race! Big Sausage was in the lead but went wide in Lost Hills and ended up on it's roof



Handing the lead to the winning V8olvo 244 DL with the junkyard Ford v8 shoehorned in the front





Is my fly open?


I thought we were a shoe-in for this trophy: the Milton Bradley Most Loveable Pain in the Ass award. We were pissing people off something fierce with our sirens...but who can hate a baby blue 323 with daisy wheels?? :angel

Judge's choice award:


Damage


Aiden spun and his punishment was to draw a cartoon on the hood explaining why he spun and write "I will never spin again" three times.


26 of 98..not bad

 

^Awesome event, I can't wait to do one!!

We got accepted into Thunderhill...looking forward to it!

I'd love to rent an RV for the trek up, but it's looking expensive and I'm sick of paying for everyone's racing. Anyone got a hookup on cheap RV rental, or have an alternative idea?

 

Leaving for Thunderhill in a couple of hours
