Re: Best of Lemons news and documentary videos!

Here is a new one.  Some film students, Brian Churchwell and Nevin Long posted here in late November asking for a team to volunteer to be subjects of a documentary they were doing for a journalism class.  I volunteered.  They followed us around before and during the race.  It was fun. This is the result:

I don't think I've seen this one...
Nice summary of the feel of the race...
Trials and tribulations...
Highs and lows...
Success and failure...
Tempered expectations..
Etc.

Kinda hard to turn this thread around after reading that, yesterday. Came across this montage by the folks at Autoblog and I feel it does a good job of capturing exactly what her spirit is like on and off camera.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6ZFY8IRd6A

Incredibly sad that "One of the Good Ones" has left us. Honored to be infected with her joy. I'll try to continue sharing it.

Re: Best of Lemons news and documentary videos!

.......rip.......
wow....never met her, but what an angel from heaven
Maybe the new guardian angel for Lemons
I could just see her right now in heaven talking to God: "forgive them, for they know not what they do...."
(or, "Awe, c'mon God, .... give 'em brake, ....those idiots don't know what the hell(oops)...they're doing....)

and this prophetic video from her speed record

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TswO_fO-gu0

and looks like she did the Gambler 500

https://www.autoblog.com/2017/11/10/dri … ist-video/

so I'm sure she would do the Lemons Rally with us....!!!!

what a loss.....

Horrible that she died in that death trap.  I can't understand how anyone could build that and not see how ridiculously dangerous it was.
