_“24 Hours is just too easy. 25 Hours has been done. But, nobody has done it longer… or better… or anywhere near as fun. It’s 25 hours / 25 minutes / 25 seconds. It’s the Longer Longest Day.”_ **Who:** You, the spectator for $25. You, the volunteer for free [http://chumpcar.com/volunteer.php](http://chumpcar.com/volunteer.php) . We might need a crew member to get drenched in gas, make food or fuel runs, get burnt by hot brake pads, and we can pay you with charded hotdogs and hamburgers **What:** Watching a crap can race (ChumpCar is a 24 Hours of LeMons rip-off, more racing, less funny), in heavy traffic (90+ cars), for hours on end. **When:** Oct. 7th practice, and some beers at night. Oct. 8th green flag @ 10:00 a.m., hour safety break at 5 p.m., another green flag at 6 p.m., and the checkered flag drops Oct. 9th @ 12:25:25 p.m. **Where:** 3 hours away in Ohio: [http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Nelson+Ledges+Race+Course,+Ohio+305,+Garrettsville,+OH&hl=en&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=53.432436,79.013672&vpsrc=0&t=m&z=12](http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Nelson+Ledges+Race+Course,+Ohio+305,+Garrettsville,+OH&hl=en&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=53.432436,79.013672&vpsrc=0&t=m&z=12) **Why:** Because this is the closest, and best amateur road race this year. Should be mildly entertaining to watch us blow up one engine, and have the other car split in two.

One day I’ll make it to this ☹ ---

I’m going on the 15th for a track day. I’ve raced here before, it’s a great track. I could not imagine 24+ hours of racing. ---

bump,… because the 200sx’s engine has 15 minutes on it, and the 240sx now has a cage in it (probably still needs 100 hrs of work and will only get 20) weather doesn’t look that bad either ---

After this weekend the only Lemon I wanna see for a while better be in a drink with booze. We’ll see if the hours cutting/welding/knuckle busting pays off. If the 240 makes it more than half the race, I’ll be happy. And if the 200 doesn’t win, we should just scrap it. 😉
