Topic: (un) OFFICIAL 2010 SCHEDULE!!!

http://www.24hoursoflemons.com/events/

Scroll down. It would seem there's only going to be one race so far, and that's Stafford, CT, though the title would indicate Providence, RI. Hey, at least it's official, and not an internet rumor.

Unless they repave the infield roadway. That ruined a LOT of tires.

Re: (un) OFFICIAL 2010 SCHEDULE!!!

There were two tire width bumps that you had to be in the corner just....right...to avoid both at Stafford. This was my first and only Lemons race to date so I can not compare tracks yet. It was a BUNCH of fun even the crazy left hand turn at the end of the fastest part of the track was a thrill with all the late braking bastards slamming their brakes giving off a bit of smoke and a wild scream in your ears as you make the turn cutting off the guy not quite inside of you while letting enough room for the crazy guy going on the outside of you. Then 30 seconds later you do it all over again with a slightly different arrangement of cars around you.

Re: (un) OFFICIAL 2010 SCHEDULE!!!

That was the only real redeeming quality of Stafford. You could sit in the stands at that corner and watch crashes ALL DAY LONG.

We got the curse at Capitol Offense but they wouldn't let us destroy the car.

Re: (un) OFFICIAL 2010 SCHEDULE!!!

I ran at Stafford, it was fun.

The facilities were good, the workers were awesome, and I can see why Lemons is going back.

Re: (un) OFFICIAL 2010 SCHEDULE!!!

FYI, Stafford is my least favorite place to play.  The track is uninteresting and this past year, you didn't have the real judges, you had track guys dishing out the punishments - they were of far less quality and typically self serving (get us lunch, get us ice cream, etc.).

Re: (un) OFFICIAL 2010 SCHEDULE!!!

Stafford was so bad a track compared to CMP, Nelson Ledges, etc, that I was probably not going back there.  When you have never had ice cream before, vanilla is great.  Once you've tastes other flavors, vanilla is not so great. 

Stafford is worse than vanilla from the drivers seat.  There was really only one passing zone and your car had to excel in that section to make passes.   

Any move to another facility would almost have to be a good one.

Re: (un) OFFICIAL 2010 SCHEDULE!!!

The schedule changes by the minute.  Before making plans, it might be good to see where it ends up.

They do not discuss which races are 24 hours or not just yet.  we wait.

Re: (un) OFFICIAL 2010 SCHEDULE!!!

As of right now, there are two races within two weeks that are 6 hours or less from my home. I'm thinking that I will just take next October off.

Damn.  wonder what my better half is going to think about me wanting to go racing on New Years Eve.

Re: (un) OFFICIAL 2010 SCHEDULE!!!

Just resorting into chronological order...right now they've got Summit Point and High Plains on the same weekend, we'll see if that changes.

Re: (un) OFFICIAL 2010 SCHEDULE!!!

I think that'll be a true 24 hours, as the website says the couse is lighted, and what better way to ring in the New Year.
