5 months to April. Can you get a working engine in the heap by then?

Make the car reliable and keep it out of the penalty box and we can finish top-5 easily.

 

The penalty box screwed us...getting penalized for getting hit not just once but twice killed us!
Just went to the 24hoursoflemons.com page and there has been some rule tweaking too.

 

No Prob raceway is 11 hours away..
But I will have a pretty hectic June so not sure about that one. Tempting though..

 

NEW rules.
We will have to put up a metal barrier between the gas fuiller tube / tank and the trunk. Since the trunk is open to the drivers area.

We also will need to put in a Master Kill switch.

Neck brace.

 

Took the LeMon out of mothballs this morning after 4+ months under a tarp.... Boy does it look rough! Stripped down the spare car for 2 front fenders, 2 doors, hood, and got it ready to be picked up by a scrap metal guy.
No suprise the LeMon didn't start but after swapping batteries with one from a boat it fired right up. We attempted to drive it a little but it wouldn't go into any gear. When the car was off I was able to put it into a gear but not when it was running. Oh well, I guess the fun start again!

 

dammit where's FL? they should add that one for Aug.

 

Sounds like your clutch hydraulics need work, TAJ. If it were a Miata, I'd say "clutch slave cylinder" without batting an eye... it's a likely suspect.

 

I'm a complete noob but I'm going to go ahead and second lorens guess at clutch slave cylinder.

 

Thanks Loren and OMGWTFBBQ!! We'll fill and bleed the slave cylinder this weekend and if that doesn't help we'll sawp it out and look for any seepage...
