Note: I'm just trying to inject a little humor into a sad situation, not upset anyone.

Well, what do you know... someone made a superleggera version of our race car!

On a side note, I hope our team's slightly flamboyant celebration at the awards ceremony wasn't misplaced. I realize we were somewhat of a stark contrast to an otherwise relatively somber event. We were all just a little in shock, and besides, the gamut of emotions this weekend was something I've never experienced before. Lemons is full of universally awesome people, and I was truly impressed, humbled, and awe-struck by the entire community.

Does she have a paypal as well?  I was hoping to use facebook to solicit some donations as well but not sure I would want to post her home address out in public there.

So sad to hear about what happened.  Thoughts are with the family, and my family will get extra hugs today for sure. 

Please post the Paypal info as soon as you have it.

She has her PayPal setup through her telephone.  I guess all you have to do is enter this number.

Re: My prayers go out to the Brayton family #22

I'd like to express my appreciation for the condolences and support for Sid and our family.  Sid was my younger brother.  We grew up around racing with an uncle and a cousin who raced super modifieds in both New England and Florida.  We always enjoyed the friendship of the racers and pit crews and Sid became very passionate about racing cars himself.  He raced late model stocks before they were anything like they are today and advanced to race late models that were closer to what you see today.  As he raised his family he stopped racing cars and motorcycles but always followed local and professional racing.  He was always busy with some sort of project and often thought of getting back into racing.  After his children graduated he went back to racing, participating in SCCA time trials and oval track racing.  The 24 Hours of Lemons series gave him the perfect opportunity to race with friends and within his budget.

I was at CMP last fall for the 24 Hours event and thoroughly enjoyed meeting his new team and competitors at the street show in Camden and at the track.  The team was improving the car's reliability and said that it really handled well.  It was a great weekend.  My job prevented me from getting to CMP this year but Sid was excited about the teams progress and the opportunity to race again.  I believe he was very happy right up to the point his heart stopped.  Although it is very painful to lose him so soon, I am comforted by knowing that he died doing what he loved to do and didn't suffer long in his passing.

I'm extremely grateful for the response from the 24 Hours community.  You are a great group of wonderful people.  As for retiring the number 22, I don't believe it is necessary.  Sid always raced the number 2 when he could if he owned the car, but he also ran a number 51 and 38 in New Hampshire and had different numbers on his enduro motorcycles.  I believe he would want you all to go on enjoying your lives to the fullest.

Re: My prayers go out to the Brayton family #22

I never had the pleasure of meeting your brother, but like the rest of the Lemons community, we share your pain.  Sounds like he was having fun, just wish he could have enjoyed a few more races.

My sincere condolences,

Here's a strange/ ironic note:

Sid was born and raised in New Hampshire.

KEEP the 22 for the Loudon race.
Rock the 22.
Revel in the 22.
Make the track YOURS- drive it like you stole it.


Sid did-
...and raise a toast (or several smile ) afterwards.
Sid never drank during the race weekend... but always had TWO beers afterwards.

(strange- I just got the repeated use of the number '2' )

Some other racer out there does or will want the number 22... why deny them their pleasure?

If he was born and will be buried in NH, then #22 will be run at Loudon and it would be my honor to keep the number unless you guys are running up here and we will gladly give it to you. You don't have to worry about us driving like we stole it. It is the only way to get any speed out of the Saturn.  We use all of the 7k rev limiter.



If you want, I could make numbers for your racecar with the artwork that Mulry is sharing.  I am running Loudon and could put them on the car for you on Friday.

Re: My prayers go out to the Brayton family #22

Our team will be at MSR Houston this weekend in one of the garages next to the hot pit. We are the yellow Taxi number 38 JBWeld team

I will be more than happy to start a MSR Houston collection and turn it over to Jay and the Lemons crew if they do not already have something planned. I will be driving the night shift so I should be highly visible during both days.

Re: My prayers go out to the Brayton family #22

I still feel shocked and saddened that we've lost a fellow racer, and so suddenly. A grim reminder that we might not have a chance to say goodbye when our time comes.

It wouldn't feel like we all lost a family member with Sid's untimely death if we wouldn't be like one big family to each other, though. The community response is nothing short of amazing.

Deepest condolences to Sid's family.

Re: My prayers go out to the Brayton family #22

Thanks to Scott Carr, we will have #22 stickers available for the teams at Houston this weekend. I need to coordinate final details with Scott, but I anticipate we will  have them available in our garages on Friday. Whatever we don't use this weekend we'll send with the HQ team for the next races.

I'm thinking maybe $10 each and we'll deposit the cash into the PayPal after the race? $20?

I was going to make a sealed bucket with a slot in the top for donations. I'll give it to you guys if you want to use it for any donations.  Sign me up for three stickers as I am a part time driver in three cars.

That is a fine idea. We'll just put the stickers next to the bucket if that works for Scott.

When I have done this in the past for other drivers I normally asked for at least $5.00 each, but donate more if you like.  I found that many people were willing to give more than the $5.00. 

Don't let this dissuade you from asking for more.  I was just passing on my experience.  Sadly, I have done this for too many drivers over the last several years.
