> [@maxwell](#): > > You know a hell of a lot more than me on the subject, but doesn’t the W2W aspect of the races cause damage on a regular basis, and wouldn’t people target his car for a little extra rub or two on a tight corner? LeMons is strictly against accidental casual contact and results in black flag penalties, I have never seen intentional contact. There is a lot of give and take with LeMons. Like I said, if he was forthcoming about the intent of this car, with the Judges, with Jay, and the other competitors I think it would be well received. “Hey, I built this bad ass car, I tried to sell it, it didn’t sell, so I’m going to race it.” Besides, LeMon’s is more about car cultrure, parting, crazy engine swaps, and backyard engineering more than it is about racing. ---

> [@fairgentleman Z](#): > > Incorrect. There is a $500 limit if you don’t want penalty laps. I doubt newman would care about winning or being competitive so penalty laps are irrelevant. > > They have only claimed cars twice out of 80 some races, they didn’t claim a GTO or RX-8 that raced, just gave them a bunch of laps. I doubt that they would claim the car if you were forthcoming about the intent. It would take a simple email, “hey I’m bringing this car, with these mods, can you promise no to claim it”. …and in the end he’s still stuck with an e30 he cant sell that is no longer in pristine condition. ---

…and NFG. But seriously it is pretty easy to stay out of trouble if you are doing 8/10ths driving, and not treating every corner like OMG I going to win!!! ---

Honestly, to me, that’s the worst idea anyone has ever suggested. It might be your thing, it is not mine. Having trouble selling your 50,000 dollar car for 20? Take it on a race track with 500 dollar cars! All I can think of is that guy who intentionally drove into that SRT8 at the crashorama ---
