We've been ACCEPTED for The 24 Hours of LeMons!!!!!
Got word today that we have been officially accepted to the 24 Hours of Lemons race in April.
www.24hoursoflemons.com
This is what I got:
Your team ( Junk Works Racing )has officially been ACCEPTED for LeMons South Spring, on 4-5 April 2009, at Carolina Motorsports Park in Kershaw SC. We got tons of crappy entries for this race; yours was just enough crappier to be selected. Nice work.
I'm stoked!
The team website is up and will be update as progress goes on with the rusty pictures of the build. As of now its mostly a 1990 Miata with no motor or tranny and a blown rear but we did only pay $150 for it. Motor was included just not in the car, condition unknown.
www.JunkWorksRacing.com
Our team concept will be based on the infamous Lockheed Martin Skunk Works team. We will be called “JunkWorks Racing”. Skunk Works is a project group responsible for a number of famous aircraft designs, including the U-2, the SR-71 Blackbird, the F-117 Stealth, and the F-22 Raptor. Our car will be a testimonial to the SR71 Blackbird, I hope.
Our car will have the infamous tail section of the SR71 Blackbird mounted to it including both jet engines and the dual tail rudders that are so iconic to the plane. The car will be painted flat black.
Barring any technical difficulties, we will be broadcasting the race live on the big screens at LongShots Billiards and Darts! ( www.LongShotsVA.com ) LongShots has been supporting the local car seen for almost three years now including, car shows, drift events, drag strip rentals, Auto-X and charity events. This is the talk of the bar already, even with NASCAR coming up! We will also bring a good crowd down to cheer us on. This is going to be a great opportunity to showcase some of out best attributes, building cars and drinking.
Our team will include:
