Agreed one million %... notice in the video how I always get the advisory pass flag....yet never got passed in the video.....I guess the starter just saw the sweet vette-stang-whatever behind me on the main straight and assumed it would catch me....BUT what he didn't see is me passing the same car on the back straight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  :>)

Yes Lemons racer don't exactly get "respect" in the pits...but it must SUCK when your $100k+ machine gets passed by a 26 year old $256 car...  Keep in mind this was the fastest DE group they had....its not like I was in with the rookies.... 

Its SO much fun when guys in nice driving suits walk up and ask about the car....probably expecting me to say its a monster LS conversion or something...& I say its a bone stock 4.7L 1984 engine that makes 195whp through a one legger automatic.....  You can really see their egos deflate!!!! 

Whats even worse is I am still a novice driver....I don't even have a "real" race license!!!

HAHA that is funny.  You guys aren't even on real race tires or anything.  Deffinetly making the best of your cars, and probably having more fun than the guys in those wiz bang fancy race cars too. 

Brian i would be a little let down with you if you put tons of money into that car doing a monster ls conversion and did a hour and a half estate conversion to it.  I would expect it to look more like the widdow.

Re: Evil Genius Racing dyno day and get together

Hank
Thats the best part.....  Why build another "widow" when its already at your shop!!! 

Honestly I have more fun driving the Estate, since I don't worry about it!!!!  Even when I owned the Widow I worried about breaking or crashing it!!  I never crashed it, but damm was I good at blowing it up!!!!!!!!!  :>(

Re: Evil Genius Racing dyno day and get together

I'll be dropping by, may hang out for the day, maybe test the camera setup in Brian's car, and show him the headphone amp I made for them.

Also, DMC (local club, mostly students but includes three Lemons drivers) is trying to get a crowd to go over.

The 928 won't be there...it will still be at Thunderhill unless I can find someone to pick it up Friday afternoon to trailer it back to the shop?

I'll do it. I won't need a trailer, but I WILL need someone to run a bandit-style diversion for me. :-D
