Re: How many Lemons races has your car run?

We've used 4 cars in 6 different races, we had 2 more Lemons cars but they were both scrapped before they ever made it to the track. CMP will be the second of what we hope to be many more races for our GTP.

Re: How many Lemons races has your car run?

Gah.  The TetanusNeon has only done five.  Such slackers we are!

Hopefully, we'll be up to seven by the end of this season, but that depends on our clutch holding up... <crosses fingers>

Re: How many Lemons races has your car run?

I think the Ecurie Ecrappe Alfa has done 12 races. Pretty sure the Lemon Demolition CRX, Snowspeeder MR2, Caffeine E30, Size Matters Fury, Scalawags Miata, the CRX that became the CRXtarossa, and a few others have all done 8-10 each.

Re: How many Lemons races has your car run?

our Eurotrash E30 has done 4 Lemons races. And one Chump.
We severely damaged our engine on the 1st race. Then have had to fix fuel issues on the 2nd race.

By the 4th race we got everything figured out. 5th no issues.  and we are set to do 2 more races this year.  Plus building a 2nd car for a bit of variety..  a 69 VW Bug..

EuroTrash E30 - Lemons South 08 (cooling probs) 24th /CMP  Spring 09 (fuel tank damage) one day on track 69th /Lemons South 09 (Hit by an Escort) 27th
MSR Tx, 10 2oth, no issues other than rain. /CHump Homestead Miami 10- 2nd place.

Re: How many Lemons races has your car run?

-1 races on the Jaggernaut. Maybe we'll actually get it to Omaha.

Re: How many Lemons races has your car run?

We've entered 3 races, but in terms of actual track time, we have 1.5 races on the car.

Re: How many Lemons races has your car run?

3 for Snoopy (RIP) could of done more but too scary. 2 for the Pontiac Grand Prix w/ craigs list motor, soon to run Gingerman. New super secret car to debut also at Gingerman.

Re: How many Lemons races has your car run?

4 for the Dog Car.  but due to financial difficulties, team splintering and persistent mechanical issues it is unlikely it will return any time soon.  sad

Re: How many Lemons races has your car run?

Well the endurancekarting.com team has 2 cars both 1990 Miatas.

Car 1: 5 races. 08 CMP, 2008 (Winner) and 2009 (Sunday only) Stafford, 2009 Spring CMP, 2010 CMP winter and 1 Chump Car Race (VIR 24 hr). This car is still on the original engine and most of the suspension parts are still the same from when started with the car. Transmision was just replaced after 2010 CMP race after it lost everything but 3rd.

Car 2: 3 races. 2009 (Saturday only) and 2010 Stafford, 2009 CMP Fall. 3 engines and 1 rear end in this car.

No more races this year for either car as schedule for everyone doesn't work out for us. Hoping for maybe first CMP race next year and Stafford as that is a home race for the car.

Re: How many Lemons races has your car run?

Keystone Kops Volvo #240 has run 5 races so far.
       2008 Strafford,2009 Strafford,2009 Nelsons Ledge 24 hour race,2010 Spring CMP,2010 Summit Point.

    Knock on wood but, Other then 11 sets of brake pads at CMP nothing major has gone wrong with the old girl. Finshed 16th last year at Nelsons Ledge 24 hour race only had to add 1 1/2 quarts of oil to the engine Nothing else.

The Ecurie Ecrappe Alfa Spider almost certainly has the most Lemons races under its belt, having been in damn near every West Coast race since Altamont '06.

Check with Conrad or Nick to be sure but I thought they ran a VW product in the '06 race at Altamont.
The California Mille Alfetta has run 10 races so far with the same motor and transaxle but two different bodies. Altamont was a little hard on the first one.

6 for our civic...  1 race finished.  (6th place in Reno '09)

Re: How many Lemons races has your car run?

I'm a Lemons slut. I've done 7 races in 3 cars.

Altamont '07 A - Saabs Gone Wild 900
Altamont '07 B - Saabs Gone Wild 900
Altamont '08 - Porcubimmer E30

Buttonwillow Arse Sweat '09 - Porcubimmer E30
Sears Point '10 - General Liederhosen E30
T-Hill Goin' For Broken '10 - Prickstine E30

Signed Prickstine up for Buttonwillow Arse Freeze this year.

I was also a pit monkey for my friend's Camaro team at Reno Goin' For Broken '09, and as much fun as it is being behind the wheel, watching the action from the pits was pretty damn fun as well.

Re: How many Lemons races has your car run?

Hey Phil,
How many has my new car done? I heard a rumor it was 13, but never finished a single one. Team Blue Goose CRX must have a hex on it.
With my determination, it will finish a race, especially with what I got planned. It won't have an excuse to fail.

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

Re: How many Lemons races has your car run?

Three races so far on the SE-R.  First race broke an engine, second race broke the exhaust, third race tried to break the alternator.  If Lemons history is any indicator, we'll break struts the next race.
