Topic: Pacific Northworst GP - The Ridge - Who's in?

With the entry deadline approaching fast (I thought it was the 30th), curious who will be at The Ridge in July. I can see myself walking around, "Does anyone have a brake hydraulic pump for a Jag? What about a cruise control diaphragm?". The Jagvair and the Transcontinental Drifters will be there will bells on. Maybe this year we will actually have a theme completed and some sleep.

Re: Pacific Northworst GP - The Ridge - Who's in?

Silversleeves Racing will have the V6 Landcrap and a new car that I am pretty sure has never been seen in Lemons yet... We will likely have had zero sleep and a crappy theme...

The Barbie Vette will likely be left at home, because, well, it sucks.

Scuderia Limoni Alfa Milano will be there, assuming we get accepted and don't do anything beyond our normal level of stupid in the mean time.

Gentlemen,

Please keep up the good work. We're having a helluva time getting people to remember we exist and keep eating this stuff. Seriously, have you tried it lately? What worked when we were weed-addled 20-somethings in the 1990's just doesn't cut it now, at least for us in Legal.

Sincerely,

Your pals at Yum!

Keep your eyes peeled, they are here for our water.

Edit: That made me think of Waterworld, is it the movie equivalent of Lemons racing?

We may have done TOO good of a job encouraging California teams to make the trip for this.

By the way, can I make a reservation at Chez Alfa? And do you have any room in the truck for the ride up?
Hopefully there will be no puppy rescuing this time.

Neal, i could use some help driving if you are willing. I'd emailed out, but it probably got buried.

There's always room for you!

And plenty of room for the ride up as well, if you don't end up sharing the driving with Spank.

I thought that was called a gas tax.

Good on the state of Oregon for putting it to their citizens.  I'm assuming that for this mileage tax they're going to have you note the mileage on your registration renewal, or income taxes, or whatever.  As an out of stater passing through, will I have to stop at the border and fill out a form?

They'd be so much better off just jacking up the gas tax, at least that way they could get non-Oregonians who are passing through to put some money into the pot.

Re: Pacific Northworst GP - The Ridge - Who's in?

Recently moved from East Coast to West Coast and fresh off a 13th place finish at The Real Hoopties of NJ (even a blind squirrel finds a nut sometimes!) - unfortunately I won't be racing but am very excited to come and take in the West Coast Lemons vibe and spectate!
