One of the drivers that was going to the American Irony race at Gingerman raceway with us has been forced to withdraw. As a result.....


We have confirmed one open spot for Gingerman.

17-18 April 2010
American Irony (Detroit MI)
Gingerman Raceway, South Haven MI

Practice April 16th

We would like to do it pretty close to an arrive and drive, you will likely have to do refueling. This is what you get;

Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Cost is $500 and covers gas, soggy cold cuts, greasy grilled food, warm beverages. +$250 entry fee ($750 total)


The wheel to wheel time is about 15 hours so expect about 3 hours of seat time with 5 drivers. There is going to be two original drivers and three renters. I will be the last driver out to make sure everyone else gets more seat time. Plus any practice time on Friday (required, unless you have a bunch of experience there).

It's not clear in my first post but the car in question is the car that won the 24 hours of lemons Lamest Day race last october. So this is a proven car not some piece of crap that is likely to blow up during the opening yellow flag laps.

Ha. We won the first time out and our car has blown up/had mechanical issues in both races since (and it even had a mildly freshened engine transplanted into it for the last event). With Lemons, nothing is really that predictable.

I hear ya. I've been spending my evenings shopping for a good candidate for a back up engine. We were "told" when we bought the car that the engine had less than 50k on it but the speedo doesn't work and no way to verify so who knows.
