@InternationalSuperspy: Your mission, should you choose to accept:
Kill the non-offroading SUV, rescue the proper manual from the clutches of 'sporting' automatics, bring diesels safely across the Atlantic to the US, and slap anyone who calls a four door a 'coupe'. This message will self destruct in five seconds.
@skitter: you continue to earn my heart click post after post. If no one else takes up on this mission I humbly offer my services in the bitch-slapping of all four-door coupe marketeers, automated sequential shift slinging techno-jargonists and diesel hating SUV owning city dwelling commie pinko bastards!

Sure, gotta three-up us on the Heroic Fix award. :-)
Seriously, these guys were amazing- even more amazing was the story of the work they did on the car pre-race. I don't think they laid down their wrenches in a week. And the car was pretty fast, to boot.
@Murilee Martin: I know, and these guys deserved it the most. We came away with a trophy, anyway, and some sort of love and respect and we all still have our wives/ SO's, so really, it was a pretty stellar weekend.
I gotta ask: We've won the IoE, the "Fastest Swervin' Swede" award (somewhat by default), the Most Heroic Fix and the Fastest 70's or Earlier Car. Are we the most award-winning team in LeMons history?
@dculberson: You know DC, I'm still recovering from being axed right when I was running New England. I should just show up, and cover it for this blog or another one.
One of my team mates has her own team at Nelson Ledges, and that's Kathy Helmetag. She is running a VW Scriocco. Hmmmm, time to book my flight to get to Ohio I guess.
@UDMan: I wish we could, sir. Alas, we're a CMP-only LeMons team. It was through a sheer miracle that we even managed to have our car ready for this race- we had one team member who got shipped off to Korea for a month, another who's family obligations kept him from working on the car at _all_, and all of us have 50+ hour/ week regular jobs. And the expenses of doing even two races a year were pretty tight, even spread among 6 drivers.
I hope to see you at CMP next year though, but that's all we'll be able to do.
@UDMan: Progress is for people that don't overcommit!!
If you do come to Ohio, we'll be Surround Castle to Stay Alive, running the CRX with the GM engine. Say hi! I'm not [quite] as crazy as my profile picture suggests.

I'll make a bet with you. If you do that, I will commit (as if I need to be committed) to coming to Kershaw in the Spring with the 'Vair.
