BTW, I have had offers from THREE teams for LeMons Detroit now. Didn't think I'd have such a decision to make!

WTF share the love man, I want to go too! I'd seriously consider it anyways, depending on the team

Loren, once you pick a team let me know. I'm going to see what I can find but don't want to threadjack or take a team from you that you're considering.

BTW, fly to detroit and drive a rental over. If I find a team we can split the $$, it's a hell of a lot easier than Toledo's airport unless it's grown

what the hell are you laughing at? i`m taking notes and planning the next race very carefully.

bullet points...

1) bring money, tape it to questionable parts
2) bring beer
3) the only words out of your mouth should be "it came with the car"
4) bring moraly relaxed women with large breasticals
5) remember, you only have to be smarter than a journalist (or 2)

Loren is a bigger man then me... I need to save every penny now.. I think bringing 19 people to the PBOC event will get us a enduro entry.. I can "expense" a set of hankooks or spacers for my slicks, but I can't justify another 24 hr event YET!

I can't "justify" it. But, what the hell. Compared to One Lap, $700 for a weekend Lemons race is nothing!

Taj good find on the Judge artice.. I like the end... And I Quote...

The TAJ crew immediately started shoving beer at us, something of a pre-bribe. They were scared, and with good reason. These guys were cheating their fireproof underpants off. From a tower brace to a K&N air filter to a sway bar the size of my wrist, this car was rigged with all sorts of go-fast contraband that cost way more than $500. We informed them that they were doomed. When the TAJ boys finally did roll through our kangaroo court, they'd taped $5 bills to each illicit part. Martin and I were suddenly (kinda) convinced by their story. Maybe all these cheater goodies really did come with the car? By incurring no lap penalties during judging the TAJ car was able to crack the top 10, finishing a very respectable 10th overall.

HMMMM.. and we didnt spend a dime on bribes.. But we did have to let Jay drive the car.
