LeMons race in two weeks!

Come visit!

Here's a few spy shots of the new paint in progress leading to a theme of shame...

I don't know why, but that silver paint reminded me of James Dean's spyder. That said, you should paint "Little Bastard" on the back.

alright!

Team Petty Cash are a long time friend of ours.
I believe we've raced 6-8 races with them.

beware the "Petty Punch"...

TK,
Are those some of Jack's old prototype wings you have there?

Nice, can you make the wing even taller next time, or do they ding you if it breaks off?

When is it going down?

Believe it or don't, this wing is fully functional.

We can drive through T1 flat footed and exit the carousel at Sears at 70-75mph.

They check for questionable 'decor' during tech.
This wing is bolted on nicely

Wow. That thing's gone through a variety of livery over the races. How many coats of paint is that? Is there a maximum weight for tech? Or is there some index of (in)efficiency for having the highest place finish taking into consideration the power-to-weight ratio?

That is cruel considering how Sebring went for them. They use Michelins, though. Maybe your Yo'Mammas will work better.

Yep, they got beat up from the get go.

Hopefully we'll do better...
