Absolutely, a buddy and some friends from South Carolina ran one in Lemons last year. Did great too, descent power and handling will some good handling. They straightened the car out afterwards and are talking about building a car for SCCA out of it. ---

A SOHC would be better for the leMons, as a DOHC that has not been cared for is not a reliable engine when it spends a lot of time close to redline. ---

> [@MPD47](#): > > I talked to Jay @ Lemons last year and he said they didnt think they were going to do Nelson due to the speed of the course. Nice to see they reconsidered. I will probably aim to do that and would consider going in on an NYSpeed team depending on who was involved. > > However I refuse to drive FWD. They will probably add a few chicanes. That track is way too fast for a bunch of novice drivers and a bunch of POS’s. ---

Oh yeah, I’m still in. Jeremy has a bunch of cars that might work, both he and I have build racecars so we know how to install the required safety equipment. Both of us have hundreds of laps on that track (which might not matter depending on configuration) What we really need to do is start organizing this, get together the seriously interested people and start planning. It looks like we may have two possible teams, some sort of co-operation should be done here. ---
