    You guys need a taller SunShade. Let me know if you somehow need a spare M30. It's yours for $250, but you've got to take the rest of the car with it...

    That damn wing is even bigger than I thought it would be. I salute you, Braff'n'Science.

    It's a good thing the Roadrunner has himself a helmet. Watch out for vandals with Sharpies attempting to give him a Hitler 'stache.

    Looks like there's even duct tape involved (passenger side on the nose); nice touch.

    "Six or seven spare guibos?"
    "Check."
    "Re-routed all fuel lines away from moving parts?"
    "Check."
    "Alright guys, what else we need"?
    "How about a couple hundred pounds of uneccesary weight?"
    "Hell Yeah, let's do it!"

    @HoonThatFerrari: The whole wing plus nose is definitely under 50 lbs, total. Probably closer to 20.

    That's a beautiful piece of misguided effort. And a wing to shame any ricer.

    But, if they win by a nose, you'll know the fix is in.

    For what it's worth, I think it needs to advertise Hooniverse a big more.

    @Paul Y. don't drive too fast.: ok... I brought bumper stickers. I also have two more hoonivers large logos.
    I will try to get other teams to put on the bumper sticker as well.

    Good job, guys. Sorry I didn't get to hang out with any Jalops, as I was in the control tower for the whole race. I was pleased to see some old-school BMW muscle in the race, though-- see you at Thunderhill!

    Sunday we ran great until Mad Science Senior was smacked by the Magnum P.I.G. MR-2 and bent up the front suspension. What position was the C.S.I. Miami BMW when that happened????? 69th place....go figure!

    Hey, that was MY extra guibo! He came by our pit during our second engine swap of the day and just mentioned their guibo had bit the dust. I remembered I've had a spare one in the backseat of my car for a few months (5-fingered from the Black Iron Racing boys no-less!).

    Glad it could help!

    @gielamonster: we actually ended up with 2 guibos from very friendly teams (thanks Porcubimmers and MetroGnomes!) AND we had the extra one driven up from LA around 12:30 that night...

    Isn't Guibo the name of some Muppet from back in the days when every segment ended with the main character exploding?

    @Vexorg: Guibo is obviously a vile ethnic slur directed at New Jersyans everywhere. The NJGADL demands that this despicable slander cease at once and apologies be made. A peace offering, in the form of some tastefully mirrored and tufted velour conversational living room seating might go a long way towards putting all this unpleasantness behind us. It would be a shame if an accident, God forbid, was to befall your crapwagon, jagoff.

    @FP - Funny how it seems quiet around here, eh?: we were running strong... and then someone spun on lost hill in front of one of our drivers, threw up a cloud of dust, tried to save it... directly into our path, and we tagged him. Took out the left front pretty damn good... Tim fixed it but only to get it on the trailer. It still runs and we will be back!

    Where else but LeMons would you see guys grinning as they hold a busted part from their car? LeMons really brings out the best in most people. Bonus points for the Mads team for grace under too-much pressure.
