Re: GMan Roll Call
Does anyone have an idea as to who's judging BS at Gman? I need to tailor my exploitation accordingly.
Phil and I will be the judges. Prepare to grovel.

My bribe requests, because I'm all about being as direct as possible:
- 1 set of 15" Lemons take-off tires. I don't drive the Focus much at all these days (~25 miles a week on average) so I'm loathe to put real tires on it (although I'm getting a set of snow tires for it soon). If you have a set of 15-inch tires that aren't corded that you're done with, I'll take 'em. Don't spend any money on this, please.
- Related: A set of 15-inch Focus steelies for los winter tires.
- I don't know what I need yet for the Olds Wagon, but I'll update if I find any potential for junkyard finds. Phil wants me to make the interior all Harlequin Golf-style with parts from different A-Bodies, but the interior is already in way too good a shape for that. Here's the car I'm talking about.
team yea bud racing will be there hoping that a new set of head studs allows us to run more than a couple hours before blowing a head gasket

If the A-body uses the same bolt patern as the Bonneville SSEi I just crushed, got some awesome five-spoke chrome alloys and good tires so you can upgrade to 16", yo.

I own a shop. I'll see what I can dig you up. Do they need to be 200 treadwear?
I'm aiming for a "close to 0 penalty laps" factor. Some I can deal with, but looking for less than 30 like last time.
I have a set with some decent life left that we arent going to use. They are even already off the wheels. DIBS!
Consider the tires dibbed across the three teams that have already said they'll bring some. I can probably piece together at least one good set from those.
Once again, you likely overestimate us...

I'm sorry, I can't hear you. All your horsespower has deafened me.
[Too soon?]
I envision they all are doing this down the front stretch....

Just wait until you see our T-shirts.
Also, last night I put the finishing touches on the exhaust system for the Mirada. The lack of noise makes me sad. Everyone affiliated with the organizational aspect of Lemons should be ashamed of themselves.
I'm getting a load of used 15 inch tires before this race. I'll see what I can do for you.
What shirt size, Eric?
Large. Gotta cover my growing Auto Journalist Gut(my).

Ah, goddamn forums and phones...It Cannot Be Done.

We will do our best to take up the slack, but there's only so much noise available from a 318.......
We are coming!
We had hoped to make it in the spring...but racecar-ing is tough.

Still a few things to check off the list.
So do we have a line up yet?
Gonna be wet boys and girls - pack your rain gear.
Gonna have to put wipers back on the car...eek!
Entry list for the 38 people who bothered me to ask for it.

Heyyyyyy? Mine's a 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue, not a 99.
Many thanks to my LemonAid team mates who made the journey in advance for test and tune. Also to Dave and the gang for being to hospitable.
