Topic: Do these guys race in Lemons?

I had some time to kill yesterday and went to Sears Point to hang out at the track. Saw this car up near the shops. Is it a Lemons Racer?

It doesn't look familiar...might be a noob...or...  That number probably won't work...38... hmmm that's Team Krider's number...could they be hiding something?  There's a club sticker on the roll bar.

I did the 125cc shifter kart class a few years ago...it put a smile on my face for a week... it's everything people say it is, what a blast.
Started off the morning with 2 hands on the wheel having a hard time getting to the shifter.   By the afternoon, 1 hand on the wheel, the other on the shifter going like hell.  Great track layout.

If anyone needs an idea for a birthday present...

I think that crapcans are bleeding over into the normal.  All I know is I have handed the celica out like halloween candy to all the other instructors with my local pca/bmwcca chapters, and now there are 10 or so that go Lemons/Chumpcar racing.  They all come back and say it's the most fun they have had on track, and coming fro the gt-3, turbo, m3 contingent is high praise indeed.

I don't know anything but the concept of crapcan spy shots makes me chuckle a bit.

Re: Do these guys race in Lemons?

I did not ask about how much the Karting was.. but the Formula 3 cars, it is $1900 for a 1/2 day or $4000 for a two day. Plus insurance. 

I was like oh man, looks like fun but a two day race event for us costs less and we split it up between 3-5 people. We also take the car home, but that is not always a plus.

The trainer was really cool he knew about Lemons and said it does not matter what you race, if you are on the track racing other cars its fun. So what ever gets you out there. He let me take a pretty close look at the cars, answered lots of questions, and told me I could hang on the wall next to the hot pits, but his boss later told me I had to stay on the other side of the fence. 

There is Drifting and Drag Racing there on Wednesday night. I am going to try and get to the track for that as well. I am here to work though and sadly that comes first.

Re: Do these guys race in Lemons?

That's an old Lemons car that was run by the Mitsubishi tuning shop 'Works' at Sears Point. It lives there parked in front of their shop.
