Re: Lemons Team had a book pubished. Who knew?

I can't make out the car in the photograph. Anyone have any idea what team this is?

Looks like a Triumph TR7 to me.

And Googling reveals I'm correct. The Black Knight:

Yes, that is an IOE winner. Actually, the same team won the IOE with the VW Type 3 in the last Texas race.

I don't know much about publishing, but does money need to change hands over the title?

I wonder if these lessons were taught by that demon-spawn Lucas?

Guys - I am sitting in the clubhouse at Harris Hill Road Racetrack in San Marcos, and a guy sits down next to me holding a copy of the book.  He let me flip through the pages and what I read is absolutely great.  I want to buy a copy for everyone on my team.

I was told the author was here at the track, if I can locate him I'll tell him to post here.  But from what I read, this book is a great read & worth the money.

Re: Lemons Team had a book pubished. Who knew?

ya, that team captain works for Harris Hill IIRC. His Grandma or Great Aunt or something or other lives at the Assisted Living where I work.

I was telling my story of Yee-Haw the other month, and daughter of one of my old ladies said "that sounds like the race my boy was doing. he had some old Volkswagen"

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

I'll get one, supporting the cause.

And not to go off topic, but it seems Jay has a book out too.

Yep, Jay does have a book out. I reviewed it a while back.

Hey, there's my Beretta!  And it's on the cover!  Hmm, that stereotype doesn't quite work here in the midwest, though.  Potential theme, maybe?  Nah, I don't think so.
