What can you do with your Lemons car when not racing or working on it? (Page 1 of 2)

The fire is part of the encore of offending people

It's just two coats of roller-applied Sunburst Yellow Rustoleum. It's not even sanded, so it has a really nice lemon peel finish. I clean it with Windex and a paper towel.

Lemons cars that are crap for crap's sake might/probably will get shunned and even quarantined, but some of the cars, cheat as they are, are pretty interesting, and fun. Faster Farms, NACSAR Meyer, Tiger Woods, several of Eye Sore's cars, and many others would be popular and would round out the show nicely.

At the local "classics" show we took the car to last week the car doesn't have to be restored, or even running. The kids loved being able to sit in a race car, and parents appreciated it because the kids were otherwise pretty bored. And lots of people were interested in Lemons racing.

By the way, the owner of the yellow Ferrari was telling me about how a friend and him are planing to Lemonize a 5.0 Mustang and race it next year.

"when not racing or working on it"..... 

I am confused.  There is a time when you are not working on your crapmobile?

It's when you're pulling double shifts just to pay for another race. Then there's the times when you run out of beer, curse words, blood, and duct tape, then you realize the sun's coming up, and just STOP, sitting there, questioning your sanity. Yeah... THAT time.

we plan on running ours at the Texas mile, in Goliad, and maybe the Big Bend Open Road Race.

There is a classics car show in town tomorrow. I'll take the tinyvette to it because, being over 40 y.o. it's classic. Besides, its the one car that is OK to touch, and kids love to sit in a "real race car". We strap them in, let them hook up the wheel, and vroom vroom. I might bring a helmet to put on them tomorrow. Parents love it because otherwise the kids are pretty bored, and it's all good PR for racing and cars in a self-described bicycle town.

Our pile will be on display at SEMA this year

Which booth? I might drop by...

There is a car show at work today. A few interesting cars are out there, but several boring bone stock cars that are only a couple yaers old (Camaros Vette's etc). If we didn't have the suspension, brakes, spindles etc all ripped off our car, it would be in that car show.

We were at the Davis Cruise-in last night. About 100 cars were there, some really nice stuff, too, plus of course Tinyvette, which was popular with the kids because they could sit in it, then we'd buckle them in and put a helmet on them, then let them try to hook up the steering wheel. Moms and dads would take pictures. All too cute. We had made post cards showing a photo of the car for the team and gave some of those out to the kids, too. We have fans!

Good thing too, because now the neighbor is complaining about how noisy the car is. It's legal-loud, and even loud, I think, but some neighbors ... It helps to have fans in a small town. The Red Flyer (legit art car) car runs with straight pipes but only gets pulled over by new cops. After checking in with the office they let the car go and never stop it again.

NICE.....

I see an epic battle between the MG and the Opel at Arse Freeze!!!!   I hope Pete can get it there!!!

I think Lemons needs a 4th class.....since the C class is far too fast.....might as well call it class "F" and the racer can't have more than 100hp....
