Lemons team looking for more drivers?

Post by n1gzd » Sat Sep 21, 2013 12:20 pm

Hi,
Does anyone know of a lemons team that would like to add me as a driver (or other type of help)?
I would pay a fair share of expenses and have an enclosed trailer and truck if needed.
Please pm is you have info.
Thanks,
Rebecca

i started working on my 944 V8 car again after it just sitting for the last year . i don't have much left to do to the car i have to get the motor back in the car and then the dual master brake system . as soon as Carl F. son's car is finished and out of the shop the 944 is getting brought in to be finished . it being built just for endurance events (not lemons ) . i will need good drivers for the car i have some people but they can not do all the event's just one or two a year .
i'm not looking for BALLERS ! that will turn one or two blistering laps then ball the car up .
i'm looking for drivers that can turn good consistent lap times lap after lap .
to finish 1st first you have to finish .
all the drivers will split the cost of the brakes , fuel , tires and entry cost equally .

Are you considering ChumpCar as well? My understanding is that CC has a format similar to Lemons, with less emphasis on entertainment and more on racing.

yes chump is IMO better than the lemons events . they don't pack the tracks bumper to bumper all the way around the hole track . when they say a max of cars they tend to keep it were lemons only cares about geting as many people as they can .
i'm doing chump events next year in the turbo MR2 i built for a customer two years ago and never drove . the car has done 3 lemons events but with the laps they tack on it could never be a front runner .
we may need another driver for that car ? if so rebecca will have a ride there too .

Hi Dave,

I would be interested in running some events with you if you need a driver. I have some experiences with Porsche 944's but not with a v8 just the handling dynamics of the car itself.

Please let me know. I would love to join in...

not to high jack the posting but yes i will need drivers .
the V8's handle the same as the 8V 944's as the V8 motors only add 49 LBS to the total weight of the car .
i have al the parts (clutch and flywheel ) to get the motor back into the car so i have to get the car into the shop and get it back together . the car should be quick 400 hp and torques in a 2152 lbs car .
