Topic: Anybody going to dress like Jonny at TH....

And sneak into the penalty box as if nothing happened?

I wonder if that's a good idea?

Your thoughts.

Re: Anybody going to dress like Jonny at TH....

After some serious and careful thought, I think this is all kinds of good.

Here's the plan:

As my car rolls into BS I leap into action in Jonny drab.
All I have to do is mutter some nonsense about the  Grand Marquis and lobster rolls and Phil will be convinced that I, indeed,  am He.

Next, I ( faux Jonny ) stand on the chair in view of the time lapse camera Phil has set up and applaud wildly for several minutes with NO PENALTY laps incurred.

I'm pretty sure this will work...

It will work better if you replace that Gulf paint job with something we haven't seen before.

Gulf oil theme=Black flag on Lap1. Team is handed brown fake fur, spray adhesive, black spraypaint, and a sash. Team is not permitted to rejoin the race until the vehicle is rethemed chewbacca.

Your Thoughts?

I'd say it "might" have worked (maybe a 1% chance) IF you didn't tell a certain "judge" BEFORE you tried it....

Yeah, it's iconic. Lemons isn't about recreating great race cars, it's about creating terrible race cars, and racing them anyway.

+1, even though I doubt Trekkor will be at Omaha. I have my next three themes in my head already, and we haven't even made it to a race yet!
