Sorry to see the bad luck. Just when I thought our prep was going bad, you take the cake.
Seems appropriate to post...

Shockingly enough there was no alcohol involved. Sad, isn't it??

I think the better question is was a woman driving at the time?
Re: Do NOT do this right before a race!
Travis,
Brutal pictures. I hope your hopes for the race aren't sinking. (Sorry, I had to)
Good luck with getting the car dried out and ready to go. You should be fine as long as you don't have any water moccasins hiding in there.
See you at CMP.

No problem! You've got 4 days left, that should be enough time to rebuild her at least twice!
Seriously, hope you get it all fixed. Look forward to seeing you at CMP.

Plenty of time! Try to avoid sliding it into the pond full of poisonous snakes next to the track at CMP next weekend and you'll be fine.

Re: Do NOT do this right before a race!
you know how some drivers are described as good but crashy?
so, maybe we'll take mercy on the other teams and light your self-crashing car on fire this Friday.
Also, if a water moccasin bites either me or Judge Murilee during BS inspection, we're taking your nads home to California

We're pretty sure all the snakes and leeches are out. Still has a bunch of swamp muck and flies though.

Re: Do NOT do this right before a race!
Keep the muck and flies. Adds ambiance.

Re: Do NOT do this right before a race!
So what's wrong with your Lemons racer? It won't run? Engine noises? Electrical shortages? WD 40 will displace water in electrical connectors and ignition wires. Air flow meter wet? Fuse box in the engine compartment wet?
