Topic: So I've bitten by the LeMon

We have most of a Team (We call ourselves More Money Then Brains Racing...Think about it, trust me you'll laugh)

We have a Car (82 Z28 that was bound for donation to The Salvation Army. We got it for a buck)

We have a Dream (My wife calls it a nightmare)

Difficulty: the Z28 is a Pace Car Edition. I mean its been sitting for 8 years and the interior and paint (which make it special) are trashed, Hell it doesn't have the pin striped wheels anymore and the Indy logo'd doors have been long ago replaced with ones off an 89. It has well over 100K on the clock. But it has a following and bless their hearts they have a website. And just to pull more on the heart strings (and the purse strings) cherry examples with low miles are going for 10k on ebay.

Don't get me wrong, we're still gonna chop her up cause those cars are way too heavy but I'm kinda feelin' guilty about it. Plus we got one helluva theme worked out.

Anyhoo, We're comin out to Thunderhill to spectate and drink in this new world that has us so enthralled. This looks like so much fun and Ive gleaned so much from the lurking I've done the last few weeks. Now that we have a car I can really get into it.

It's a Camaro.  And a crappy Cross Fire Injected one.  It does not matter if there are supposedly only two in the world, there are most likely a dozen within ten miles of you.  Chop it up and give it an Indy Cross Fire theme.

Re: So I've bitten by the LeMon

Actually its not a CFI car its got a rottenchester on it. Thats the original reason why it was parked, the electric choke burned out and the owner didn't want to deal with it. Lame reason for parking a car right?

Hummm. Have you heard this gem run? Take note. Most F-bodies do not fair well in Lemons racing. Don't really know why, but their racing history here is not good. But then SHO's never were worth a flip either........

Re: So I've bitten by the LeMon

Oh yeah we're buildin it.

We got it to the shop on sunday and our schedules sync up to start on it next sunday.

There will be pics.

Has an F-body even finished? Cause that's what were aiming for with this car at the very least.

At Thunderhill, come on by the Old Farts Pit - white 924s.  Have a beer or just hang out.
