Have to ask...

[HillbillySailor]

This may belong in the FreiburgersJunkyard.com House Project Cars section, but I'll start it out right here. Since the CJTV departure, what are the plans for the Lemons Fury (I think Dave wanted to sell it) and the mini bikes? Any plans to run either one under the new banner (whatever it will be any way)?


Dave, now that you're Editor in Chief again, any chance we will see any more coverage of any Lemons races in Hot Rod? Or even better, any chance Hot Rod may participate in any Lemons events?

Yes it would be. Chad and Brian, what are the chances of running these beasts?

Re: Have to ask...

I have to believe that the aircraft carrier sized Mopar will be terrorizing compacts, subcompacts, hell, even medium sized cars on a road course at some point in the future. I don't think there's concrete plan at this point but it would certainly make for some kick ass content for the site.

Chad....let's get on that. HA!

Re: Have to ask...

I understand "some point in the future" being a point in time where Chad is working and you two both have the time to dedicate to a project like 24 hours of LeMons. As far as ohter dirvers go, you could probably dig a few up right here on this site. They may not be Matt Kings, but they could probably saw the wheel pretty good. You could even set up a LeMons PayPal account for us to donate to if need be...

Hey Shannon ...

Just FYI, there is a full 24 hour LeMons race in your backyard this year. The event that previously ran in Flat Rock MI, then Toledo, is moved this year to the Nelson Ledges road course.

http://www.24hoursoflemons.com/events/lamestday09/

They've even called it "Lamest Day", an homage to the old SCCA club racing "Longest Day of Nelson Ledges" 24 hour race that was put on though the 80s and 90s. I ran that in 93 in a 5.0L Mustang with some buddies.

I'm going to try either hook up for this one with the Ohio dudes that I ran with in Toledo last year, or put something together with some local racing friends. But this is central enough for the eastern guys, that maybe we can do a FJ group car and team.

Hey that's right in my neck of the woods. If someone is planning on running it, I'll be there for moral support. ;D

Ed,

I'd possibly be interested in participating in an FJY group car and team. I'm currently in Waterloo right now, but I do frequent the Peninsula, too, where my parents live.

How many So. Ontario guys are on the forums, here? Enough to form an Ontario FJY team?

You know, that sounds like a good idea! If we can get a few more "Ohio dudes" together, I'd be willing to pitch in.
