Topic: Lemons team in ABQ willing to help fellow crapcan racer?

I am hoping a Lemons team might be able to help out another Lemons racer, even if it's not with a Lemons-racing-related thing. I need a little help with some work on a trailer in ABQ. It's actually a boat trailer...with a big a$$ sailboat on it (Corsair F32AX.) A Lemons team with an outside  work area where I could check bearings/brakes and install new tires would be really helpful. Probably have to do a little work on the bunks, too. I'll have most of my own tools but maybe could benefit from borrowing a tool here and there. But I should be fine.

Anybody there in Albuquerque? I have some friends in Sante Fe and a good friend in ABQ, but none of them really have the space to get this done.

Thanks,
Bill

Honestly the cage is the hardest part on a race car and the best thing to farm out. Find someone to make the cage, tow it there, have them do the hard part, everything else can be done inside of a one car garage, or since you live out in the desert, your backyard or driveway.

I think its been a few years since Lemons ran in AZ, but I know there are teams in the surrounding areas. Good luck with the hunt.

I am trying to liberate the boat from its desert confines. I am doing it a favor.

Replied to your email. Thanks for reaching out.
