                well, two of the cars ran in July, and one of them only needed new tires. The other one toasted its motor while we were in 1st place, so we dropped to 10th. Thats the one that gets the M30. The third car was another donation/hodge podge of parts.

                        i know these cars have to have side impact beams on their cage installed, but that lemon's door looks to have withstood the impact with the oem bar. what do you think?

                              They run a race in Michigan as well. I know some local guys who are running in it. http://www.illconceivedmotion.com/

                              Note the excellent wheels on this LeMon.
