Re: 2010 Lemons Schedule is up....

with that many events, have you ever thought of doing a season loser, errrr champion?

to prevent somebody with no life of entering every single event, only count a teams top 4 finishes.

nascar style points (100 entries x 5 = 500 points.  1st gets 500 points, 2nd 495, 3rd 490, etc.)

marketing hat on - it will encourage more teams to enter multiple races - marketing hat off.

or if you want to make it more complicated - bonus points for IOE and all your other "awards".  or do a biggest loser season chamionship.  4 races, team that accumulates the least amount of points wins.  ha.

yes, it's a purse car

Yes, in the true spirit of Lemons, the worst finishers from every race get invited to a season finale.  Winner gets the "Grand Lemon".

Re: 2010 Lemons Schedule is up....

I have a feeling the champion would just cause more problems.  Teams will complain that there aren't enough races in their area so they can't get the 4 races in, or complain that their area is tougher than this other area so thats why they can't be champion.  It would end up being a huge headache.

I though there was talk of having the last race be for teams that won or did well but even that would be hard because you would have to find a location that would be fair for teams from across the country to go to.

Also it will allow more teams to race.  Alot of teams are happy to race 1 or 2 races a year and it would be a shame if they get bumped for teams that are trying to win a championship.

We will award the Season Champion trophy based on total value of judicial bribes received.

Re: 2010 Lemons Schedule is up....

I posted this elsewhere but this seems like a better place for it:

How about a season-ending Grand Prix where the winners of each event are entered into a lottery ala Wartburg: Judges/organizers scour craigslist and salvage yards for 10-20 suitable cars. If the winner of an event passes on the opportunity, give the opportunity to the second place team, and so on. Charge an additional $xx to qualify to cover vehicle and veehicle transport costs. 10 weeks prior to the final event, hold a lottery to see who is assigned which car to prepare. Entry is guaranteed, but the provided car must be suitably Lemonized within budget.  Sort of like the Wartburg--Guaranteed entry into the Finale but you must use the supplied car and you only have 10 weeks to get it ready.

Keep the event open to other teams, but make this a separate Grand Champion class within the race.

While there are always interesting cars in the races, I can only imagine the level of cars there would be if they were sourced by the higher-ups.

A year end Championship in Florida combined with a New Years Eve Party would be awesome. 

Actually, the Championship would just be a bonus, a Trackside New Years Eve bash would rock!

Re: 2010 Lemons Schedule is up....

Is the schedule 'finalized'?  When I talked to Jay he mentioned that they were going to do atleast 1 and possibly 2 events at NJMP, but I don't see it on the schedule.  I also find it hard to believe they are not going back to Nelson Ledges.  Everyone seemed to thoroughly enjoy that event.  It  may not be the best facility, but it certainly beats the crap out of Stafford. 

Just my $.02/100.  big_smile

Re: 2010 Lemons Schedule is up....

Jay has never changed the schedule once posted.

So no NJMP or Nelson Ledges.

Charlotte area will be busy the weekend of the second CMP event for 2010: Coca Cola 600, a 24 hr indoor kart race and now Lemons.

Sorry!

Last year Nelson Ledges didn't appear until like mid-December, but 6-7 other races went up around October.  Though last year, his email announcing the 2009 schedule specifically said to expect at least one more race in the Detroit area (at the time there were none).

Re: 2010 Lemons Schedule is up....

So, the second race is on the same weekend as the Super Bowl, CMP. I mentioned this to one of my drivers and he said that a LOT of "race/car" guys are not football guys. Is this true? I guess this is the reason Lemons got this weekend at the track?

I'll have a 40" HDTV and an HD antenna set up at Police Brutality's paddock space. According to antennaweb, CMP is some 28.8 miles from WLTX-TV's transmitter, so picking up the HD OTA signal (at channel 19.1) should be no trouble at all.

Well, there's that.  There's also the fact that it's pretty freakin' cold in February...

You must've missed the race at CMP in September... I think fully half the field had headgasket-related problems. The first day of racing was 98* and humid.
