Hi, Team Captain:
Good news--I think. Your team has officially been ACCEPTED for LeMons Southern Discomfort at Carolina Motorsports Park on 5-7 February 2010.
So here we go again time to build endurance race car to run all weekend for $500 or less.
The 24 Hours of LeMons
Got some Q's...car is up and running and I have almost 2 months to make it "better" so far we have built a 2.5" exhaust with a 3" collector. Can't wait to feel the Powher! So anyone ever use a RX-7 AFM? Worth it? My reading says yes above 6K rpm, well thats where this little 1.6l will live for two days. Also we are addressing the suspension, its a mess...stock 20 year old miata stiff. Any ideas? Cheep!
Last years team.

You guys going with the same theme? Congrats on getting back in. We have to submit our application by saturday and have to decide if we are staying with top gun or a new theme we have. We also might have a Toyota Camry, which will be awesome! I love racing the Miata, but racing the Camry will be a riot.

Went to "Driftwater" to test the latest in LeMons suspension technology to day and had a great time! 2 mile road coarse with a lot of great turns and inclines. Also brought some other cars to play with.
Over all the car ran great!
Like my last track rental, it snowed.

T-24 hours till we leave for LeMons! Cant wait. So much to do today, but the car is ready!
Wish us luck and I'll be updating from the track.
Suspension is tuned, check it out.

That's awesome. This is the first LeMons south that we'll be missing (we drove the Hong Norr Obamanation CRX the last 3 events).
Though, with the way the weather looks, I can't say I'll miss it too much as we'd inevitably be swapping an engine sometime Saturday in the mud if past experience has any thing to say about it, hehe.
Best of luck to you guys!
