24 Hour LeMons Race in New Jesery May 2015
http://s222.photobucket.com/user/new...?sort=2&page=1
Above is the link to photos and video of my youngest son and his race team for the 24 Hour LeMons Race at New Jersey Motorpark (on the Thunderbolt Circuit) this past weekend. He and his four team mates had never done anything of this nature before and only my son had ever been on a track like this. Out of 110 entered, they finished 62nd overall and 20th of 30 in their class. One can spend ONLY $500 on a car plus ANY safety related work on the car - brakes, tires, full roll cage, etc. They "found" the car, a 1988 BMW 5 Series, in a field and the owner told them they could have it (no cost) if they would just remove it. After replacing the head on the engine (with a later model head), they had it running and changed fluids, belts, hoses, etc.. It is amazing that nothing "broke" during the race. They had a ball and I was so proud of him and his team! Super weekend! The following is a link to photos and video of the race - over 1,000: http://s222.photobucket.com/user/new...?sort=2&page=1 BTW, a SVX has race in the 24 Hour LeMons before (a couple of years ago). I am not sure how well it did but am trying to find out. There was also a Forester running in last weekend's race and talking with them, they have tentative plans to put a SVX engine in the Forester and run it ... should be a hoot!
