Imagine... Twenty-four hours, sitting in a clapped out Toyota MR2, with the speedometer bouncing past one-hundred miles per hour, hoping that the suspension won't break free of the rusted out undercarriage! That is racing! Racing at the extreme of stupidness! We are a group of guys who race a 1991 and a 1986 Toyota MR2 in both the 24-Hours of LeMons and ChumpCar World Series. Follow us as we risk life and limb while trying to prove to the world that the MR2 can win a race over 1/4 mile long!
After a very nice dinner at the VIR pub the guys came back to the paddock to clean up. David got some mean sun burn. So he ended up going to get cleaned up and got some sleep. So did the others.
I got to work on aiming the HID lamps. 4x 35watts. Each car. Then I worked on some off the prep stuff. Added a drivers air feed to ms2. Removed the cheap roll bar padding from both cars and added the SFI rated stuff to the cage. A lot more room now to get in and out.
I fixed the mirrors on ms2 and added a rear view. I deskunked the cars. Then fixed some of the issues we had at summit point with the roof on ms2.
I even worked on water proofing ms2 as we may have some good rain on Sunday.
It is freaking hot here today.
Car are ready. Ms2 is doing the test day so we can get our new drivers into the car.
I was first out and noticed a cooling issue. Rad cap was bad. Replaced and it seems good. Going through tech now for the twenty four.
Chump car event. Left RSm at around 10pm last night. Two rigs. One 24 foot support trailer and the two car rig. We are now lined up outside vir on some dirt access road. Starting to get warm and muggy here too. More later as we prep for track testing.
