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

[Clif & Deborah Williamson]

Right.  It looks more like LeMons meets Bay to Breakers.  And I count 15 1/2 
hours in this weekends event.  Which is good because we will only have to 
make sure the engines runs and not the lights.  At least that eliminates the 
Prince of Darkness from knocking us out of the race.

Mike
I don't think they actually run a 24 hour around the clock program.
I think it totals 24 hours of running time in the 2 day event.
If you haven't been to one of the events or read a lot about it you may want
to go check it out. They run with a different set of rules. Costumes are a
big part of the event.

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?
