For a while I wasn't going to be able to make the race. Being a single dad, budget is always tight at Christmas, but to add time constraints, I would have to be home by 5PM on the 2nd to have my kids ready for school the next day. I couldn't drive that fast after a 24 hour race. I couldn't afford to fly as Santa took all my scratch.
A friend was very generous and has offered to buy me a plane ticket home after the race. I can not disappoint him, now.
We all know my Lemons driving record. There was Yee-Haw where I did 1 lap and a Heroic Fix, and NOLA where I helped the Gremlin do 6 laps and a Heroic Fix. I can't compete with Eyesore for laps, or Spank for IOE, but I'm throwing down the gauntlet for Heroic Fix. I'm packing a case of bubble gum and 2 popsicle sticks. I'm going to splint someone's connecting rod...
See you guys there!
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
