Topic: Yee-Haw: Predictions?

If this event is par for the course (i.e. - mostly clean racing w/out too many mechanical problems) we should see an excellent battle. This time around, we've got the invading (dare I say, CarpetBagging?) Eyesore Racing Team, the only three time winners, and TWO two-time winners in Race-Hard, Race-Ugly and Sergio/RRRR.

There's also Troy and the LRE teams, the nudists, the Violent Running Gang civic (fastest lap @ ECR), Team Blue Goose, Team JB Weld, Team Operation, the Cajuncoonasses, etc, etc... (And Pat/TARP. I wouldn't want to leave you out. If you ever get that MR2 dialed in....)

So, who you got yer money on?

Summer's Eve Racing - '09 Yee-Haw; '10 Gator-O-Rama, NorDal Hooptie, Yee-Haw; '11 Gator-O-Rama, NorDal Hooptie (Winner, Class A!)
TARP Racing - '11 Yee-Haw, Heaps; '12 Gator-O-Rama (Winner, Class C ... Looking for a Class B Win to Complete the Trifecta!), Heaps; '13 NorDal Hooptie, Gator-O-Rama

Re: Yee-Haw: Predictions?

A little birdie tells me that the Eyesores aren't going to be there. Something about too long a haul and not enough available days off work.

I'm personally pulling for the Dauphine. It should fly around that course but who knows about reliability. Outside of the favorites/veterans like Sergio, and like the nudists in the Oil Cooler Special, Troy is going to be pushing hard to be the first team to take both an IOE and an Overall in the same chassis. Team Operation will be running their 4th Gulf Coast race this year in their 318 e30, they are fast drivers and mostly clean, so with a little luck they could win it.

As for us, the car seems ready to go but it has the disadvantage of (a) karma, being that it's an MR2 and (b) a team of not fast drivers. Well, we have one guy who's pretty skilled, but not the rest of us. If we could just crack the top 30 at a race this size I'd be thrilled. Hell, if we could just run the entire race (both days) without a major mechanical I'd be thrilled. This car will never take the nickles but we do have fun with it.

I'm working on some new and improved thematic elements for the car that should be entertaining to the crowd, too. smile

Re: Yee-Haw: Predictions?

My Jujubees are telling me there will be some major catastrophy at the start of sunday, and the overall will go to an upset. Maybe the Duphine...

Although the spirit world has told me the winning lottery numbers were 1 2 3 4 5 6, just so they could laugh at me when I actually bought the ticket.

Yee-Haw 2010 "Most Heroic Fix" & "I Got Screwed" -2 trophies for 1 lap, but I took checkered on my lap.
Gator-O-Rama 2012 "Organizers Choice" -2 laps 1 trophy, but i still finished ahead of an E30
Yee-Haw 2013 No trophy -26 laps, I think I see a pattern here
Gator-O-Rama 2014 "Waiting for the Last Minute Call from the Governor Award" -who's counting? John

Re: Yee-Haw: Predictions?

Eh, we have two cars that *could* top ten, hopefully the bugs are worked out of the probe, and the miatastang. I put more faith in the miatastang, our drivers there are getting seasoned. IF they can keep their nose clean, it should be a good showing. Two of the probe drivers are newbs, so that is the flip of the coin there, as well as any other mechanical gremlins that find a way to show up. We are GUTTING the engine bay, as well as anything else we can do to make it light as it can be, so hopefully that helps.

I want to see a fresh winner, and Duphine take the 1501. I do tend to lean twards an underdog, though.

Re: Yee-Haw: Predictions?

We are certainly going to try and put up a good run for the Nickels.  Unless something changed I am unaware of, we are only fielding the yellow and white #35 car.

I'd certainly like to be the first Z in the winners circle but it will be a long hard weekend before that happens.  Sergio and the Race Ugly boys both have two victories.  The competition at ECR was great.

I am sure the Prancing Donkeys and Nudists will be all over everyone as usual.

Pat, if a SHO can win, certainly an MR2 can.

I look forward to seeing the Duphine on the track.

Maybe something will change and Jonny will be handing out justice with Phil.

Mostly, I look forward to a fun weekend at MSR with the rest of the nut jobs that show up.

I thought the other LRE team, Inglorious Basterds, was associated with you guys .. and they're listed as being in. Guess not.

Inglorious Bastards is my friends car.  They were short drivers and had other things going on so Doug will be racing with us. 

I noticed the Prancing Donkeys weren't on the list last night.  Maybe they are still celebrating their Chump victory.

I predict hot weather!

We're going to win.

Either the race or at beer drinking. But we will win.

Re: Yee-Haw: Predictions?

If we get all 3 cars and some drivers down to Houston and everyone gets track time we will win.


If we get a nickel or two that will be gravy

Re: Yee-Haw: Predictions?

FWIW, we're hosting the clown car kegger in the paddock on Saturday night this time. Everybody seems too concerned about getting their cars ready on Friday night, but by Saturday night, everybody needs a cold beer. We'll get things going as soon as the track goes cold Sat night.

Updated prediction: my car will spend more time under the welder, than on the track.

Exactly, it will race to turn 1, then tow the other 12; reweld the front end.
Race to turn 2 (making progress) and tow the rest of the lap; reweld rear subframe.
Race to turn 1 and realize I forgot tho reconnect the fuel line; tow off again.

By then it should be ready for 1 of my 3 rookie drivers toget in & 2-off to slice the oil pan...

Lemons! I love this shit!

Re: Yee-Haw: Predictions?

Nah, it won't be that bad.

You see, MSR-H has an access road/cutoff right after Turn 4/The Kink that will shortcut your tow back to the pits, so you won't have to be pulled around the entire track. smile

My prediction? Pain

Will you be "bringing the pain", or should I pick some up for a different Judge?

The winner is who has the most fun.   Got that covered. 

Team Sensory Assauly promises to keep everyone sleepless and awake all night!

We're throwing a trailer trash car show for our pink zebra...

I am bringing my M35A2 Deuce and a Half and going to park it all Crunk next to our $1500 Craigslist Portable Ghetto Motorhome!   I'm pushing for it to be the Pace Vehicle.

Guitar Hero Friday and Saturday night as loud as we can get it until we pass out!

Re: Yee-Haw: Predictions?

Can you bring it with the .50 cal mounted so that if we have a People's Curse you can go all fully-automatic on it?

More importantly, is the M35A2 painted pink and zebra too?
