Organizer's Choice!

Organizer's Choice!  Never would have imagined!  What an incredible emotional roller coaster this past weekend has been.  Thankfully, it ended on a high note - the highest!  More details to follow...

BS Inspection

BS Inspection went swimmingly.  Here I am trying my best to pronounce 14-syllable German BS Technical words to convince The Honorable Lieberman how gescrewed we were last race, and how he should just let slide the fact that we installed an "Olwiederpositionsbastelsatz."

Oh, and Jalopnik has a great shot of the team on the top of their BS Inspections Page!  Thanks, guys!

Suspension Wizardry

Today was all about revitalizing the front suspension after visiting the oracle on the mount.  Dick Anderson (founder of Carrera Shocks) seemed to love solving our whimpy bouncy jouncy problem for us.  Dick has a gold mine of old racing shocks scattered about his warehouse.  It was simply a matter of spotting the right sizes, making a few calculations, a couple of precision (plus or minus an inch or so) cuts, and fitting our front struts with helical Viagra.

Look closely and notice how we nearly quadrupled our stock springs' rate - a spring within a spring.  The stock Merkur springs leave plenty of room for improvement - and plenty of radial clearance for a second spring.  Pretty swank, if you ask me.

The shape of things to come...

Pimp Brian's Ride

Our little prank last year has made it all the way 'round the internets:
Jalopnik: The Ultimate Housemate Car Prank: Pimp Brian's Ride

UPDATE: And it has spawned another Lemons Team:
Our Lady of Perpetual Downforce

Getting some love from Jalopnik

Since Jalopnik decided to point a link here, I thought I'd post a link to our pictures on Flickr.

Needless to say, the fury we had to put out to get our car ready meant that we couldn't update this site as we wanted. Fear not, as we're going to post up some backstory soon.

Bring Back Our Hood

Jeff did an awesome job painting the hood graphics.  Wish I could show you.  Can't.  Hood stolen.  Whoever took it had better display it prominently in their garage, shop, or hand it high above the drum riser on their national heavy metal tour.
