Topic: Competitive Crap Can

So I recently got to do a video interview for FeaturedGarage[ with Disco from Disco Racing Team and it certainly has me pumped to start my Lemons adventure. Check it out!

Re: Competitive Crap Can

Most honest, believable and accurate depiction of Lemons I have seen.  Well, except the exclusion of our awesome themes, costumes and "unintended" tranny fluid smoke screens.

Re: Competitive Crap Can

We tried to hit on all those points but there was just so much material that the video just had to be direct and short.  I hope to be able to keep having the Featured Garage guys follow the natural progression of the car and make more videos with the Disco racing team. 
I do know that I will be helping the Featured Garage guys build their second Lemons car so maybe we can elaborate more in the videos pertaining to their car and build.

Our goal with the current video is to spread the word about Lemons.  I street drive my Crx and take it to local car meets.  When I'm there I'm usually inundated with questions about Lemons.  Let's hope we have drummed up a few more teams.

Was not knocking it....honestly.  You guys were the real deal and video was an honest depiction of the "getting to the track" and "why am I here" part of the process. 

Without 30-45 minutes of video it would hard to even scratch the surface of all aspects of 24-hours of Lemons.  Outside of the already Lemons faithful, who is going to sit through that.

Plus the instrument panel made from an old toolbox lid is amazing. Seriously.

Those were actually rear anti sway bars.  The front still has the stock hf anti sway bar on stock bushings.
I am very proud of the multiple bars in the rear!!!

Re: Competitive Crap Can

I love that you portray Lemons as a serious race. A lot of people still think this is a joke. We're out there trying to drive as fast as possible, because competitive racing is fun.

Also, HOLY CRAP that CRX is quick!

Yeah I hate that everyone that hasn't actually raced in a Lemons race thinks we are all out there on a Sunday drive/ demolition derby.  We all know it's the exact opposite.  Fun and games in the pits but when the green flag drops it's all business. 

Thanks for the compliment on my super shitty Crx ha ha ha.  Many many many serious hours of tweaking and intense scrutiny have gone into it to make it what it is.
