What in the hell are you talking about? The aforementioned truck has already raced, and it won the highest award, the Index of Effluency:

I still can't believe that Wizard got that thing together.  So awesome.  Everything seemed so bleak when his team sort of abandoned him then he got motivation and then some fellow Lemon heads chipped in and the next thing you know it's ruling at the track.  What an awesome truck, awesome team (guy), and awesome testament to the Lemons community..

^ What he said. Seeing that truck on track (about every 6 minutes) was awesome and inspiring.

Hmm, I am going with a Dairy Queen theme this upcoming race, so maybe I can put a tray out the passenger window with some ice cream cones, try to grab them when you drive by me.

AFAIK, simca 1204 holds the record for slowest car to ever complete a race at Road America. smile and we did finish the one time, very slowly.
