> IS MY CAR GONNA GET HELLA MUNCHED UP? > Oh, almost definitely. LeMons is a non-contact event, but it’s a crowded track with a whole lot of really hard driving. And even if your car survives out on the course, halfway through the race one entry will be chosen by popular ballot for immediate crushing. Could be yours. Heck, it probably WILL be yours. Be prepared. here are a few pics of a particular SHO that participated. > [@Some pics of Bizzaro Evo's Evo](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/some-pics-of-bizzaro-evos-evo/46528/23): > > Some aftermath pics: > > Not all of the drivers out there behaved like perfect gentlemen or ladies.:angelnot: > > [@Paint center of STi bumper black ?](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/paint-center-of-sti-bumper-black/46561/51): > > Priceless!! :laugh\_ti: > > > there was a camo painted SHO that competed a few years back and I think he finished 2nd or 3rd but was penalized almost a **hour** because the officials claimed he had internal engine mods which was untrue. after the adjustment he finished in the middle of the pack which is pretty good considering the penalty. get a 3.8 taurus, swap on SHO sway bars, cobra brakes and decent tires and beat the hell out of it. ---

The website has the full list of places they do it. CT and Ohio are the closest to Buffalo. You get to spend up to $500 on the car, NOT including safety equipment. Gotta have a harness, cage, fire extinguisher, and some other rules to follow. Those don’t count towards they $500 spent on the car. When we were setting up to do it, there was 6 of us, and it cost a total of ~$350/person. Not bad considering we towed the car to CT and back. ---

Full 09 sced is up… Anyboyd interested please PM me… ILC your PM box is full you still trying to put together a team? I have been doing some research and the races have been filling up VERY quickly, and you need to come up with a good theme for the team to get a chance of “Accepted” to the event. Events “close” to Buff: 2: LeMONS SOUTH SPRING Date: 4-5 April '09 Track: Carolina Motorsports Park, Kershaw SC Entry Deadline: Ten weeks before the race (24 January 2009) 5: LeMONS NEW ENGLAND Date: 11-12 July '09 Track: Stafford Motor Speedway, Stafford Springs CT Entry Deadline: Ten weeks before the race (2 May 2009) 7: LeMONS SOUTH FALL Date: 12-13 September '09 Track: Carolina Motorsports Park, Kershaw SC Entry Deadline: Ten weeks before the race (4 July 2009) 8: THE LAMEST DAY (full 24-hour enduro) Date: 3-4 October '09 Track: Nelson Ledges Road Course, Nelson Ledges OH Entry Deadline: Ten weeks before the race (25 July 2009) I would prefer to really shoot for the 24 hour race in OH as the main goal… i think that would be MUCH more fun to do and easier on everybody + a good way to end the driving “season” ---

In for Nelson, I have a few cars… '93 SE-R shell that I’d only put a GA16 or KA24 in (no spare SR (1st coice because i’d like to use the shell before scrapping)) '94 Altima 5 speed '95 200sx 1.6l 5 speed '80 510 4 auto '94 Voyager auto 3.3 v6(are minivans allowed?) Maybe a '97 Lumina 3.1 if it is in good shape after the hangover… SE-R would be good because I have spare set of GC coilovers 550f/500r on blownish struts, about 30 wheels, and enough used up all season that hold air. Might be too much work to put back to running condition though… ---
