Harry... Or should I say, "Mr. Cerveza"!
Thank you for the kind words. When we grow up, we will be playing with the big boys in "A" and we'll be coming for you!
Seriously, if we can take a Chevy Aveo (Deawon't) to a class B win, that would be just epic. We don't have a fuel cell yet, we fuel through a stock filler, we maintain the stock Aveo equipment, and we keep getting pretty close.
We have three brands of drivers. The gas saving, conservative types that can push the fuel gauge another 20 to 30 minutes, we have the HOT SHOE that get's tossed in at the end of the day (that's me), then we have the in-between driver that can play hard, but with a soft touch.
This last weekend was, quite frankly, a pisser. Leading class B with our competition seconds behind but not gaining, we got a black flag for contact. Sure, everyone has a story and nobody is guilty of anything. However, nobody else was flagged for the "contact" and I have the video to prove it. I hope to post it later today or tonight if my boss lets me (also me). Haha.
May not have mattered anyway. We lost ANOTHER wheel bearing 45 minutes before the checker on Sunday. We were in 5th, two laps behind the leader. That 2 laps was what we lost the day before for the bogus black flag.
Fairness to Lemon's, this is $500 crap can racing and some of the best fun I have ever had. We are competitive which is part of the fun. When we are handed a bogus black flag, it certainly takes the wind out of your sails...but does it? I look back and I still had a friggin' blast. I even took issue with Jay after my objection to the erroneous punishment...but I was stupid not to think that it wasn't him that saw the incident (or lack there of). It was the flaggers. So, even though I was not profane or confrontational with him, I do owe him an apology. I am NON-EMOTIONAL behind the wheel and don't get red misted. Outside of the car, I become analytical and cynical. Less I forget, I am driving a truly $500 Daewoo and I need to shut the F^CK up and have fun! LOL.
