It’s that time of year, and I have to start looking for team members for the upcoming LeMons New England race. Want to come aboard? Last year I had an all star cast for my team. I had Mike “Mr. Angry” Musto (Who now writes for Ride Lust) as one of the cornerstones of the team, along with Katherine Helmatag from CarDomain who is one of the most knowledgeable VW enthusiast on the planet. Mike brought along a few of his friends as drivers, along with mechanic extraordinaire Johnny Sigismondi. There was also Andy Sarkoski, a Corvair fanatic, and the owner of a radical 455 CID Toronado Powered Corvair that he brought to the race. And of course, I had the famous Mary Comens (Mary with an M from the J) as our go-fer and cheerleader, as well as Jason Ensell as our food expert. So why am I asking for team members this year? I understand (though not confirmed) that Mike is forming his own team this year, so that will leave me with 3 less drivers and no mechanic! Katherine will also be busy with her own team, and will be roaring back in some sort of VW near her home in Michigan. I am counting on Andy to return, and would love to have Mary back, but that leaves a lot of openings. So, if you are itchin’ to race a 1963 Corvair, or wrench a Corvair, or participate in a LeMons event, leave a comment below, or write to the tips line, and I am sure to respond. For your viewing pleasure, here is some of the images from last year.
