ModSquad Racing

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!

Fast stop.

12 gallons of fuel added. Had an issue restarting. But on second try she fired right up. Hawkins is in the car now. At midnight as the leading car crosses the finish line the 24 hours of automotive hell is over.

To the bottom

Something like 77 cars started 22 hours ago. We dropped way back at the start. Made it to 19th. Then had more problems. These problems dropprd us back to 37. We are now back up to 30th and climbing.
Peter is out on the track now. David will take the checkered.

I would like to give a shout out to Rick Fon, sponsor and driver for the ModSquad team. He had duties back in Montreal due to New Years Eve. We miss you Rick.
