[Fot] 24 hour Lemons race... and a TR6

[Bobby Whitehead]

Morning FoT...  Just woke up from a weekend haze of my first 24 Hour of Lemons 
Race. Argh.. did we race a true $500 TR6 ALL weekend? Was that a dream? 

Amazingly enough Bob Kramer and the Sherlock Homeboyz campaigned the TR6 all 
weekend long and even placed 20th position. Not too shabby. Yours truly, The 
Pawn Star of CVAR, sponsored $500 for covered space, food, fuel, beer and I was 
one of 6 drivers. 

The TR6 had some fuel problems, as we could not get the carb's dialed in. We did 
have the advantage of cornering though. So.. I know Bob Kramer, Greg Blake and I 
we turning 2:30's times out of the car that had little past 4000 rpm, and fuel 
starvation in the turns. I would just go as long as I could and hold out to the 
very last few feet before I broke into the turns. Amazingly, the car never broke 
down and we had no contact. We were penalized for two offs in one session Sunday 
morning, so we were instructed to paint a large Alfa Romero symbol on the trunk 
lid. We had fun with the paint, made a really nice symbol and the spelled Alpha 
Bumero in the lid. Although not required I took the extra step to appease the 
judges by donning voluntarily the 70's afro wig. Bob Kramer says we won some 
swag, the Grassroots Motors Sports , "Most with the Least" trophy!  Go team!   
I'm ready (with rest) to do it again!
