[Spridgets] 24 Hours of LeMons video

[HealeyRick]

Much as I love you and all. Ron, I'm not watching 1.5 hrs of LeMons videos
unless there's some guarantee of some pretty spectacular umbrella girls worthy
of a F1 grid.  But since I owned a 79 X 1/9 and always thought it would be a
beast with more power, I had to take a look.  Very cool.  I wanted to see what
went into the swap and found this:

LeMons video
 
This is a loooong video of Day 2 of the recent 24 Hours of
Lemons race at Road
America (where Halloween meets gasoline). I was asked to
co-drive the Launcha
Splatos, a Lancia Stratos take-off using a Bertone X-1/9
with a 200 HP ALfa V6
crammed in the back. It was probably the most fun I have
ever had racing. This
video is taken from a competitor's car. He was much
faster in the twisties,
but damn, my car was fast. I put him in my morrors for
good around Lap 22, at
1:17:00 or so, Great, great fun. We ended up winning
after nearly 1100 miles
of Road America. One of our competitors was Emanuele
Pirro, 5 time winner of
the REAL 24 du LeMans. The guys who were there to race
were very, very good.
