And the next shocker will be... (Page 2 of 4)

We have cars/modifications in the works that should give us a win capable british car and italian car before the end of the year. Seriously.

HOWEVER, do I think we'll win? Actually, no. Why? Because we don't care enough... we're lazy about driver changes and just have too much fun to be competitive. Maybe I'll have to loan one of the cars to a team that trys harder than us.

This is a VERY good point....if you want to WIN....you must be seriously dedicated....super quick driver changes-pit stops...perfect strategy & good luck...all of which are ANTI-lemons.... 

So I prefer the "other" standard to measure a car by....LAP TIMES....I may not win (in fact probably won't) but damm is my car FAST while its running!!!  The estate still holds the highly inaccurate lap record at Thunderhill....and I also claim the lap record at Sears for the normal course....which of course is irrelevant since we are running a different course....

So what is my point of all this rambling...."I like being irrelevant" and other big words I don't understand....  so when I get spanked by "slow" cars I can make myself feel better by saying "ya but I was xx seconds a lap faster than you"

My crappy caltrans/grinch/frogger/cow car finished a 6th place with 1 blackflag and quick driver changes and 3 drivers per day

If Crown Vic drivers can restrain themselves from hitting things, or flying off the track...they might have a chance.

Crown Vic and "clean race" doesn't really co-exist.

French it will be. Probably some familiar Peugeot if they can keep the unlikely contender running.

- my family had an X11, the first car I ever did any hoonage in.  Still remember skidding completely sideways to a stop when I came around a blind curve to a line of stopped cars.

IIRC it was actually dominant in its SCCA showroom stock class, until it was beaten out by, get this, the Renault Fuego!

After changing our radiator Saturday night, we finally got our car to stay cool so I think we have a better shot at an Overall win. 

Congrats to Sergio on a great race in their SHO.

Looking forward to No Problem.

We're just glad you let us race with you all.  Winning?  I think we celebrated as much as the winners at Thunderhill for our 49th finish.  And that's cool.

Best of luck to all you "real" racers next weekend!

I think any car, with the right drivers, a healthy dose of luck, and keeping the car away from mechanical issues has a good chance of winning. I mean, hell, I was amazed we were still in the top 10 after sunday quiet time @ Southern Discomfort...with a FWD buick with a Dragon's head and stock suspension on it.

I was running 4th at the end of my first saturday stint at CMP09 Spring south in a crown vic.

These cars are HEAVY compared to 80% of the typical Lemons field, so, just imagine if we could cut another 600lbs out! (damn fenders rule)

Bonedriver's talking about CMP from what I know. they had rear caliper issues. Aside from that, CMP has a reputation for eating brakes. the top speeds are a little lower that what you're posting afaik, but the last and first turns you really have to bring the car down before getting on it again if you want to do well.

Or that your pads were on their THIRD Lemons race.

Stop hitting yourself!
Stop hitting yourself!
Stop hitting yourself!

MOM!!!!
