Absolute Lemon, Up On Blocks

Like many 500 dollar cars, the Absolute Lemon #40 car has spent much of it's life up on blocks. The team sees no reason to change that truly trashy tradition, and so it is that #40 is raised again.

Maybe when the Sears Pointless '11 event is over, we can put this baby on craigslist. I have looked at cars like this on CL before... Usually the ad reads something like:

"Recent oil change. New brake pads, and recent brake fluid flush. Never wrecked, clean, classic BMW."

Okay, maybe not. But we DID flush the fluids!

We're IN for Searspointless'11!

   With less than 3 weeks before the actual race, we have decided to get our respective butts off of oh-so-comfortable-couches exit the stealth mode, and announce to the world (as if it really cared) that we will be gracing Infineon Raceway with our presence yet again. Not only are we in for Searspointless’11, but we have also announced (mostly - to each other) the driver line up for the upcoming races, much like the big shots at ALMS proper did for Sebring.
   Inspired by this important development, no doubt, we pushed back at better halves, families, other commitments and protracted procrastination, and worked on the car. We changed the oil, and bled the brakes. Amazingly, the car still starts, and even brakes a little. Hell, if we continue at this rate, we have a chance of actually racing in 3 weeks…

   As far as the actual driver line up, it’s starting to look pretty good – all 4 people have raced/tracked/auto-xed e30’s as well as have wrenched on them a bit. What’s more important, all four are willing to wrench on this car, which is a first. We’ll miss our fast drivers from the past – “The Stig Next Door” and Laz... Ex Formula Ford drivers - hmmm, probably not so much..!

We're IN for Searspointless!

As the title suggests, we're IN (in case somebody cares, or needs this one last bit of statistical data to compile a list of teams that are going to converge onto a famed racetrack next weekend).

We're IN for Thunderhill' 09!
