I've teched for Lemons a few times
If you guys use the SCCA specs for a roll cage, you'll be in good
shape....Cliff is correct...Lemons is very tough on safety items...The
rollcage welds are inspected closely. The mounts must be on a strong
base...The angles must be correct....
Your suits, underwear, shoes, gloves will be inspected closely for holes..

Subject: [NOBBC] TEAM LEMONS UPDATE
> Hi NOBBC
> Just an update on the Lemons Race Team.
> We now have 5 members in the LEMONS race team. Myself, John Kenner, Mike
> Gianandrea, Walter Kilchherr, and David Wilson.
> We will not be communicating through Yahoo, or NOBBC, so will be giving
> you all updates once in a while when something is worth mentioning.
> At present we have obtained a donation of a Spitfire with a Buick V6 and 5
> speed transmission in the car. Free, so we have $500.00 to spend getting
> it ready for racing. The Spit is in pretty bad shape, though we did get
> the motor to run with fuel poured into carb. There is no floor pan on the
> drivers side, but that's the only bad body work problem and Mike says it's
> easy, so there you go. Our biggest challenge at this point is the roll
> cage. 24 Hours of Lemons is really tough on safety and the cage is an
> issue. We are continuing to consider other options, so if you have
> something laying around that might be a better candidate, please let us
> know.
> We do have room for one more person on the team. It looks like the total
> cost to each person is going to run about $1000.00 +or- depending on our
> fire suits helmets, and shoes. If any of you have any racing stuff that
> meets standard and you want to move it...cheap...let us know.
> Our theme at this point is James Bond. Maybe wear tuxedos or paint on the
> fire suit. Trying to figure a way to add a few features to make us more
> competitive, like an oil spray, smoke (probably already there), spikes,
> machine gun, whatever.
> Having fun so far and it should get better when we get on the track.
> Clif, John, Mike, Walter and David
