[NOBBC] After Saturday's drive - it's Lemons!

[Clif & Deborah Williamson]

There was a race at Infineon in March, and one this weekend as well.  I plan 
on going for at least a few hours on Sunday.
But I am a little confused on the schedule.  Will somebody explain?  It 
doesn't really look like a 24 hour race.  More like one 7 1/2 hour race on 
Saturday, and one 8 hour race on Sunday.  Am I missing something?
Clif
PS.  There is a great video on the Infineon web page.

The rules say, you need three to five buddies with questionable judgment. I 
demonstrate that quality daily. I'm interested. It looks like we would need 
to shoot for March though.

Well alrighty now, we got one piece of enthusiasm. How about some volunteers
to work and race? The Lemons race is a team concept based on Le Mans type
racing, so there must be a number of team members to alternate driving
around the clock besides fixing and prepping a vehicle, so if you work, you
drive. Can you see yourself going throught the carousel at 60 MPH at 2 AM?
Come on ladies and germs, this could be fun. Cliff?
