    I thought of the near-perfect IOE contender...if one still exists.

    1984 Ford Escort Wagon.

    You can't keep a good Brava down! I can't imagine it developing any maladies, that a swift buffing with a shop cloth can't repair. Maybe you should try tapping, ever so gently with the really big hammer, on the Marelli ignition?

    Did the Squareback get a nose job?

    Tough luck for the Swingers, I hope you get your engine patched back together, and come out fighting. #24hoursoflemonstexas

    The Karmann Ghia was running on 3 cylinders all day --- we think we've got that sorted. Hopefully we'll be able to pick up some laps tomorrow and get back into IOE contention. #24hoursoflemonstexas

    Whoever hit the Fastback probably deserves a solid hit with the Fastback, if it's still capable of movement. #24hoursoflemonstexas

    Oh how I wish I could make the 3 hour drive to Houston to watch all the madness. All the more reason for me to buy land and make a track out here in San Antonio. #24hoursoflemonstexas

    @homeslice60148: Yeah, I keep saying "I'll go to the next one" but something always turns up. 3 races in TX next season, so maybe I'll finally make it to one of them.

    So is anyone really using those old flight lines at Kelly AFB for anything...? #24hoursoflemonstexas

    However, next year has a Tornado Alley race, so I'll be there. #24hoursoflemonstexas

    @TurboBrick [LIGIER]: I was just over there yesterday! I got totally lost and stumbled upon what is now called Port San Antonio (former Kelly AFB, and KellyUSA). Port SA was billed to be a massive rail, road and air cargo port, but the recession has killed off most expansion or influx of new offices. Boeing still uses the runway, for maintenance of the Air Force passenger jets, but after 5pm the streets are abandoned. It's like going through a massive ghost town. It would be perfect to close off for a weekend and set it up for track racing. Triple wide streets, massive parking lots, and there's only one way in and out. #24hoursoflemonstexas

    Woah, wait a minute, you aren't even considering the Gremlin as an IOE contender? I cry foul, foul I say....

    @UDMan: The Gremlin limped off the track with an engine sound like a garbage disposal chewing on lug nuts about mid-afternoon. If it gets back on the track today, it's an IOE front-runner. #24hoursoflemonstexas

    @Murilee Martin: We blew a gasket on saturday that we waited 2 hours to get a replacement then couldn't get it in before race session one was over. Today we couldn't keep the car from overheating within 5 laps and when we tried to go slow (slower) to get the car to last longer, we got black flagged and told to leave until we could get it to go faster. We packed it in then. We will be back for Gator-o-rama!! #24hoursoflemonstexas

    If the Festiva is a 3 cylinder, it's a shoe-in for the IOE. #24hoursoflemonstexas

    Yeah, but is it number matching? Just think of the value of a numbers matching Lemons winning race car. Must be worth somewhere in the hundreds. #24hoursoflemonstexas

    This car is in much too complete/undamaged condition.

    An opposite door & fender combo must leave the vehicle. #24hoursoflemonstexas

    Looks like some good, close racing out there. Glad to see the Property Devaluators decimating the field.

    And there seem to be two Speed Racers - might this be to confuse Racer X? #24hoursoflemonstexas

    How does a 2002 in that condition end up in a junkyard? It has all its wheels still! What has condemned this classic to the junkyard?
