Topic: GP du Lac Notgonnatrytospellit @ Thompson - Entry List & Tech Times

Pretty standard field: Two C-Body Mopars, the Sunbeam Alpine returns, and SO DOES THE TUNACHUCKERS VOLVO AMAZON! Hella Sweet, I don't think it's raced in over a decade. Fun Fact: No team has ever won at Thompson twice. Could be our first repeat winner this year? Maybe? We'll see. (Click here for higher resolution, click here for Excel)

Tech times are also posted on the event page, but you can find them here as well.

Your judges are Manny and Chris from Elmo's Revenge plus Aaron Cole from Denver. He'll shoot way better photos than I have ever taken, so look for that gallery after the race.

Ah, but I can say it and still somehow trip over the name of the track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCFKyHilyso

Tunachuckers' original Amazon got totaled in CMP back in 2009.  This is a brand new one, although certain thematic elements of the car will be instantly recognizable...

Also, I believe we did win Class C once with our original Amazon, in its' last race.  It was so long ago now that memory may be lost in the mists of time.

'08 - '10: 1966 Volvo 122, "Charlie"
'10 - '18: 1975 Ford LTD Landau --> 2018 - current: Converted into 1950 "Plymford"
'22 - current: 1967 Volvo 122, "Charlie ]["

Headed out to Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg for the Lemons race. I have secured one stint in a fast car. Since I am flying all the way out from California, it would be great if I could pick up at least one more stint in anything. I have a couple of other possible opportunities that may or may not pan out, but if you find yourself short a driver due to covid or family issues or because you have a rookie that decides they hate it or the heat gets to someone on the team or whatever, I might be able to take a stint or two or a slop hour or any spare time you might have. This is my first time at the track but it is my 71st Lemons race overall. I'd love to get some extra time on the track since I'll be there anyway. Contact me through FB or judges/HQ will probably know how to find me. I'll be milling around 3pm as well. Thanks! Excited to do another East Coast race. NJMP was a ton of fun. East Coast definitely knows how to party.
