My Brother is a Lemons regular mostly on the west coast. As a graduation present for each of my sons, he has sponsored them in a race. Pretty cool eh! Last weekend was Atlanta at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta. It was my first Lemons as a spectator and as Dad although there was a time in the very way back that I had a lot of laps at Road A... As promised, the weather was miserable. BUT The people were sooooo good. Genuine. Helpful. Funny. I speak of his (their) teams, the competitors and the staff. #2 son was on track when I arrived so I took a lot of time going around the track, taking pics and laughing. If you haven't been. GO. It is a riot. The poor corner workers must have needed buckets of xanax after each lap. Some of the vehicles were F A S T and some were sure nuff slow. Some lines pretty good. Some genuinely scary. And there were like 110 teams on the track so you know how that went. four wide. five wide. spin. crash. bump... Some crashed into others, some exploded spectacularly, some plodded along and some FLEW... If you were driving a white crown vic please be aware that the body of your car and its frame/suspension were on completely different axis / arcs of movement on every corner. And it was rather frightful to watch. At one point we commented on the lap times and racing lines of the safety trucks. Not bad guys! And from our observation safety throughout was really on point. Like really really. Young Zack diced with a Borgward lap after lap. Something most of us likely will never experience. And he will never forget. The boys are much better techs than I am so they found themselves under both cars several times. And were being assisted by other teams. And they REALLY enjoyed that aspect as well. So three thumbs up Lemons! Really good stuff. We'll be back
