I have been doing Lemons with my friends since 2009 and between all of us we have 3 cars. We are (almost) set to race at the end of this month at MSR-Houston. I wanted to extend an invitation to see if any of you guys would be interested in racing with us? We possibly need one more driver and I wanted to get some feelers out in case the guy we have now backs out.

We will be racing a convertible '91 Mazda RX7 with a 5.0/T-5 swap. This will be the third event that this car has competed in.

If you are interested post up or shoot me a PM and we can discuss the details!

Thanks,

Daniel

We ran two vehicles in our team at the last MSR Houston event, the 91 Isuzu Impulse and the 75 1 ton HiLux 6-wheel truck. The car finished in class B in like 4th in class and 24, or something overall.

The truck was a contender for a class C win, in fact before the last full-course black flag (Datsun Z lost a wheel/hit a wall/slid out into a pond in the middle of the infield, not necessarily in that order). After sitting for about 45 minutes on pit row, the truck wouldn't start. It looks like it suffered from a flooding condition and it appears the points may have slipped. We lost a 4 lap lead and lost 1st in class by 1/2 a lap, garnering the truck the 'I Got Screwed' trophy. Some info here:

The rusty yellow RX2 was ahead of the truck by a lap before it rolled after a bump-draft by a 2nd Gen Camaro 'convertible'.

Blue 6-wheel truck with the wing is ours.

Sorry I didn't come over and say hello. I loved seeing the truck out making laps!
