Topic: 2011 Lemons schedule?

has there been a 2011 schedule published yet?  I'm betting it is and I'm just too dense to find it.

Nope, it's not out yet. Last year it was out sometime in Sept or Oct I think.

Re: 2011 Lemons schedule?

I really hope there's a race near St Louis for 2011, I've been wanting a local Lemons race since 2007.

Re: 2011 Lemons schedule?

Here's to hoping!

My crew will be applying for the Buttonwillow race this year, but we'll race anything in Vegas or close to it.

If there were a race in Vegas next year, we'd have to consider building a second car and creating a handful of arrive-and-drive slots.  It would be a great excuse for us to get another rust bucket in the garage, and a great excuse for LeMoneers to fly out to Vegas for a weekend.  big_smile

Re: 2011 Lemons schedule?

Is it bad to hope that Nelson's gets back on the schedule?  Usedcar fumbled on the spring race, and I don't think that fall entries are flying in the door.  It would be a lot of fun to go back there with 125 cars again.  Hopefully, Jay and the managment at Nelson's can come together.

I'd love to see NL back on the schedule, but I'm not holding my breath. Rumors around this forum were that NL mgmt definitely wanted Lemons back, which (if true) means that it's more like Jay didn't want to come back for his own reasons. I suspect that the speeds that we saw on the backside of that course combined with the limited runoff scared the crap out of Jay, and then the minor bridge incident may have played into it too.

But I really miss that we don't have more true 24's on the schedule.

Re: 2011 Lemons schedule?

I'm not looking too forward to Nelson Ledges returning, my team had a bad experience there last year and that paddock area was horrible. If they fill in the 8 million potholes then maybe I'd change my mind.

Re: 2011 Lemons schedule?

Well, the paddock DID take on about 4" of rainwater over the weekend.  The potholes simply add charm.  tongue

+24.  I wold be more than thrilled if more true 24 hour events were run in the midwest.  I really liked Nelsons, but would be fine somewhenre else.  Nelson's has a ton ef experience with night races, and a lot of tracks don't, which is one reason I would like to go back.  And I did really like the track.

Charm? There's nothing charming about driving 600 miles back home with a broken strut mount, those potholes also caused me to lose a lug nut cover on my fancy chrome rims.

Re: 2011 Lemons schedule?

I know it would never happen but Road America would be amazing, the sight of the crapcans coming down the long straight to the braking area to turn 5 would be very entertaining, and the fact when a car blows up its a 4 mile trek back to the pits. 

Oh one can dream

Don't hold your breath on this one, either. Jay's said in the past that the main problem with Hallet is the lack of infield access while the track is hot. Unless/until they build either a bridge over the track or a tunnel under it, I don't think we'll see a Lemons there.

How about Road Atlanta or Barber Motorsports Park? I hear nothing but great things about Barber...

I would think the track rental at either of those 2 would be sky high. But then if Chumpcar can race at VIR, maybe it's possible.

Re: 2011 Lemons schedule?

Chumpcar is also at Hallet the same weekend I'm driving 7 hours to Omaha.

Yeah, I know the infield isn't accessible. I was just hoping.

Re: 2011 Lemons schedule?

Well, Lemons certainly teaches us that sometimes, hoping is all we can do.

And drink. Those two often go hand in hand. smile
