Slanted folks, Just letting folks know that I will be driving for Jason Ernst's 24 hrs of LeMons team in the upcoming March 3-4 event at Carolina Motorsports Park (CMP) in Kershaw, SC (about 45 min SE of Charlotte, NC). This is an '87 E30 BMW chassis with 225 Slant (w/904) power. Looks like they've done a great job on this car. If anyone would like to come watch, please let me know. I'll be driving a well handling Dart or Valiant down there, and hope to sneak out on the track during a break too. All the best, Lou |

Very cool stuff Lou! Man, I wish I could go to this. This talk about the 24 Hours of LeMons and the ChumpCar Challenge have got me looking a little closer at that black Duster sitting over there next to the garage...

Lou, Aww, man. I wish I could drive with you and Dave. You know Dave Mapes bought my '66 Dart road racer some years ago, but others here may not. |

Josh, Yep, I know Dave bought your Dart because I was thinking seriously about buying it myself! He has given it a better home than I would have, though. Looking forward to learning from Dave. Seems like he must be a serious driver... Rob, If you are serious about that car, we might talk... BUT, STAY FOCUSED, my friend... Lou |

Quote: Rob,
I am serious. It will be somewhere around third or fourth in priority. Just something I've wanted to do for a long time and if someone else were involved it would make it a lot more fun than the solo route I've been on.If you are serious about that car, we might talk... BUT, STAY FOCUSED, my friend... Lou It seems like a good fit. The car isn't great, but it can be made solid enough for this kind of racing. |

Woooodiiieeee!! Hey Lou, If all goes well this weekend do you and Jason plan to do more events in the future? I'd love to sign up given a little advanced notice. Zipping my SRT-4 around Hockenheim Ring with Porsches, Ferraris, and the like was a blast and I'd love to do that type of racing again! I loved watching this guy pass all those Vettes and that non-driving Viper. They all gave him the, "Yeah, I can't hang with you. Go on around!" signal.

Rob, I believe we will do more events if this goes well. I am really curious to see how this turns out, both on and off track... Lou |
