[Fot] Gee nice car

[David W. Riddle]

The purchase of the car can be for more then $500 which you can offset 
by having the reciepts showing you sold items off the car (interior, A/C 
compressor, etc...)

See rule 4.7 http://www.24hoursoflemons.com/rules/
*
4.7: Scavenger Sales:* If you sell pieces off of your car, the money 
that comes back in can be used to offset the initial purchase price. 
Just be prepared to convince some exceedingly skeptical judges of the 
validity of all those transactions.

Two friends ran the race down here in AZ last month with different teams 
and said it was a blast.  Something they did not know.  If you dropped 
two wheels off track you got BF.  You then had to paint a small cone 
black and secure it to the roof or your car.  Four wheels off and you 
had to use a large cone.  They did not know that and had to scamble to 
find a cone, paint, drill and bolts to secure the cones.

I'm talking to some guys down here to see about building (or should I 
say gutting) a car to run next year.

3 Series BMW get penalized out of the gate.  One of my friends saw his 
team docked 57 laps before the race started. Thinking about maybe a 
Honda, although the 3 Series is bulletproof.

The car that won the race down here was a Miata.  It did 621 laps 
whereas the the two cars on the podium both did 600.
