Re: How to deal with varrying sized drivers

yeah 2 cars is an option as well since i've been talking about Lemons for several years to all of my friends i think i've got 8-10 friends who want to participate.

Re: How to deal with varrying sized drivers

If you do go that route, it opens up some theme ideas.  I particularly liked the Spy vs Spy rabbit team

My personal favorite Idea I came up with was a white bronco II being chased by a panther body crown vic.

that spy v spy is great.

8-10 people that are interested.  With how the average team goes, you may barely scrape by with a team of 4 once you start putting the car together and the bills start rolling in.

yep...maybe 5...no really 3.

Re: How to deal with varrying sized drivers

Believe it or not I'm the medium sized guy on my team, at 6 foot 2 and 200 pounds I"m shorter AND lighter then 2 of my other drivers and my lightest driver is 5 foot 9 and only 150 pounds.

So put the seat on sliding rails from JAZ racing AND we also made a pair of seat inserts for the two smallest drivers.


Also when I first started to race Lemons I tipped the scales at over 260 pounds....beyond making life more simple getting the bigger guy on your team to shed some pounds is a good thing in general.  Besides my doctor being more happy with me, its made me able to do VERY long stints in hot heat.   The old me was tired out after just 2 hours.

Just sayin.

I think we're probably going to go the 2 seat route. its about 3 small guys and 3 bigger guys so if we position who drives when we shouldn't have to swap the seat every driver.

Check with John Pagel before you commit to this - would suck to show up at a race only to hear you should have done insterts, etc. and then having to scramble to get it all done. Remember - Americans like to sue, and if someone on your team has medical issues b/c your seat design failed, they or their family can come after Lemons, you, and your dog...
