Wait, what’s this? News? I have no idea how to do this. I’m far better at gazing at my navel. Look! Lint!
The insane geniuses over at the 24 Hours of Lemons, the world’s greatest racing league, have just released their 2010 Events Schedule, and there’s no way around it. We’re astonished.
Somehow, they’ve managed to increase the number of events from 2009’s ten, to a mind-blowing 23 Events in 2010. And, I’d like to point out, not a single bloody one is anywhere near me. So I am forced to ask the LeMons organizers: Why do you hate me so much? I gave the damn kid back!

      Not to be a pedantic weenie (I know, too late) but, isn’t Buttonwiollow more Bakersfield than LA? BTW, my old w123 is still on the street in front of my house. I’d gladly contribute if anyone from San Diego want to form a team. To be clear, it DID NOT run when parked. Some kind of engine swap may be appropriate though … hmmm.

        Hell, the “Omaha” race isn’t even in the same state as that city. Not that I’m going to complain, MAM is a good track and I’m happy to see some more races in the central midwest. Maybe I’ll even be able to go to one this season (driving or otherwise)!

      Ok, I have been waiting forever to have a LeMons close enough to me. I have two possible drivers plus me (3 total) and maybe a fourth if he is up for it…..
      I have a facility to build the car. I have a race team I have helped with a hauler.
      some how, some way I’ll be at this one for sure.http://www.24hoursoflemons.com/chicago10/
      If everyone falls through, I’ll jump on a team that needs a seasoned wrench in the pits.

            Well I’m graduating school in June and I’m not sure where I’ll end up once that happens, but if I’m still in the Chicago area afterwards then I might be willing to be of service since Madison is surprisingly the closest team I’ve found thus far. But again, much can change in the next 8 months so sadly I cannot make a commitment at the moment.

    While I’m saddened to see that Nelson Ledges isn’t on the 2010 schedule, I’m also happy that there are 3 races close enough to delude myself into racing at. That way I might be able to get more than one race in, once I get a team together and build a car. Assuming the Fiero lasts until the end of even one race.
    American Irony, here I come! (then, hopefully, the Detroit Bull Oil Grand Prix, and Rod Blagojevich Never-Say-Die 500)

      I just Googled that track. They might as well have said the races were in Chicago, as it’s much closer than Detroit. Grand Rapids or Kalamazoo would be even closer.

    Not one, but two races at Gingerman! And Joliet! That’s like three chances for me to miss the race due to a conflict my wife scheduled unbeknownst to me.
    Also, Gingerman is nowhere near Detroit. It’s on the west side of the state, which might as well be a different world. It’s all Dutch and peaceful. Oh well, we’ll chalk that up to a rounding error and move on.

    Providence, my ass. That’s Springfield, Mass. (And, by association, Boston; Hotfid; Portland, Maine; Manchester…)
    Hmm, I’m half an hour from Fitchburg, then south to Wista and then down 90 to 84 and that’s that. Whether I’ll be able to make it, though, is another question – this year’s race coincided with my trip to Scotland, and next year’s is right before/as my partner flies over here. So there’s that. But in all likelihood I’ll be attending at least one day, albeit alone, and meeting you other crazy Ningland motherfuckers.
    Woo!

        Fitchburg really is the kind of city you drive through. Route 2 goes right across due south of it; that’s where us southwest New Hampshire dwellers get on for Boston.
        (I rode through Albany once, a few years ago.)

      I was hoping for VIR, but I understand it’s kinda ‘spensive to rent. Summit Point’s cool though, and if it’s not a true 24-hour race, I think an evening trip to the half-assed casino might be in order.
