I still think we should seriously consider the 6 cylinder outboard motor conversion.

Re: Skunk LeCar IOE Winner....now what?

It's french, so do what the french do best:
Start Saturday as Pepe, then around lunch time, re-theme to match the fastest E30 on the track. Then on overnight, re-theme again, this time to match the fastest SHO.

Has anyone ever re-themed during a race to match a rival car?

Yee-Haw 2010 "Most Heroic Fix" & "I Got Screwed" -2 trophies for 1 lap, but I took checkered on my lap.
Gator-O-Rama 2012 "Organizers Choice" -2 laps 1 trophy, but i still finished ahead of an E30
Yee-Haw 2013 No trophy -26 laps, I think I see a pattern here
Gator-O-Rama 2014 "Waiting for the Last Minute Call from the Governor Award" -who's counting? John

Good question. We'll get back to you shortly with an answer.

The Barack Obama Change You Can Believe In Penalty (counterpart to the McCain's Uphill Slog Penalty) we had before the election last year involved forcing teams to completely re-theme their cars. The "Dancing Queen" Saab 900 became the "Leaky Queen Exxon Valdez," and the re-theme was very well done (the Swedish Chef doll became Captain Hazelwood, and so on).

I've had this exact idea in the back of my head for months.  An Evinrude powered Mercury Lynx would be ideal.  I guess I should just try and survive my first event first.  See you in Chicago!

If it doesn't have 2 doors, 3 pedals, and 5 lug nuts per wheel - It isn't a real race car
