Re: lames day nelson ledges anyone accepted yet?

To quote the great Lemons gods..

" FULL 24-HOUR IN OHIO: ENTRIES DUE SATURDAY!


As if a 24 Hours of Lemons race with a nighttime break wasn't awful enough, we've got one that runs 24 hours straight: LeMons--The Lamest Day at Nelson Ledges OH.

But act fast, all you speed-freak vampire insomniacs: The deadline to file your online app is midnight this Saturday, July 25. Accepted teams will be notified the following Monday; rejected teams should feel a wave of relief around Tuesday.

For more info, see the Lamest Day Event Page here."



Have patience young grasshopper.

Cheers

Re: lames day nelson ledges anyone accepted yet?

Don't forget to send your response to the acceptance letter (read the instructions inside if you don't know what I'm talking about....)

Re: lames day nelson ledges anyone accepted yet?

The 24 Hour Race sounds like a fantastic idea until your entire team is asleep at 4 AM except for you and the guy driving.  You are the only spotter and he's coming in for fuel.................................then you utter the quote "why the hell did I do this!"

Yeah, I have been trying to figure out how to make myself take naps early in the evening so I can be awake at 4am to either drive or wrench.  I have a feeling I will be way too into it to pull it off though.  I will be wide awake during a long yellow when I should be sleeping and then tired as hell when it's my turn to drive.  I can't wait!

Re: lames day nelson ledges anyone accepted yet?

Is the "MANAGE AN EXISTING TEAM" list, a list of cars accepted for that event OR just a list of Lemons teams?

Re: lames day nelson ledges anyone accepted yet?

I think its just a list of Lemons teams.

Re: lames day nelson ledges anyone accepted yet?

In Toledo last year it was certainly possible to stay up all night, but we decided as a team that for strategic and safety reasons we wanted everyone to get some sleep.

Last year you had to be up early to make it to Saturday morning tech, then stay awake until the checkered flag at 3pm the next day.

This year it will be a bit easier: You only have to make it to noon the next day.  You just need to sleep until 10:29 on Saturday morning [drivers meeting] and you could plausibly not sleep until the checkered flag.

That's the list of teams that ENTERED the race, not the list that were accepted.  Nothing is final until teams pay in full.
