The 24 Hours of Lemons GP du Lac Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg is this weekend! The Buick will be racing again, in its tenth (I think) race.  The race is at Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park, which is cleverly named after Thompson, Connectthedots, where it is located.
As usual before each race we have made a ton of changes and improvements to the car…


No. No we did not. We did not make many changes at all, as usual. We installed a less damaged bumper cover from one of parts cars because the original one was damaged before we ever turned this boat into the majestic parade float race car that it is today. It only took us nine races to realize that the pockets where the headlights once were did not exactly contribute to the aerodynamics.  So, we also installed the passenger side headlight. On the driver’s side, the headlight housing was modified to serve as a cold air intake, like it does on the Challenger Hellcat.
With all these aerodynamic improvements we, of course, left the big, heavy park bench spoiler alone. After all, we would not want to make a difference that is too drastic, one that could improve the vehicle too much, if such thing was possible.
Other than that, we replaced brake pads, got two new tires, and replaced a broken transmission mount. Fluids were changed, stuff looked after, and that is pretty much it in terms of the race car mods.

For the driver, my teammates rigged some kind of a cooled seat system, which can come in handy in the middle of August. I have no idea how it is suppose to work but it uses an industrial pump, a series of tubes, and a huge cooler. And it does not look comfortable. I don’t even…
We will also now have a fixed push-to-talk radio button and some kind of a new roof-mounted antennae so we can yell at each other.
That’s it! Come watch us attempt to race if you are in the area. As usual, I will not have any stickers or t-shirts to give away. Autographs are $20.
