We will be there, 3 Pedal Mafia. Giraffe Civic, Isuzu Hombre, 3800SC TR7, Cressida. We will be in the event garages, or in our paddock hot tub, and are usually hard to miss.

This was a fun event. I miss it, but other things need to come first. Anyone interested in a 5.0L E30? Has 4 races since built, and finished all.

Dave, Whatever picture you posted isn't showing up on my computer. Was your RX7 red (late '80s FC) with a GRM sticker and a license plate that said something like "Niceasp" on it?

I was driving our Civic hatchback with the giraffe theme (huge giraffe head sticking on top) in the opening shift on Saturday. That RX7 and I were nose to tail, well mostly its' tail to my nose as I was following its' footsteps, for a ton of laps. It was great racing. I had run about 20 LeMons races in the past, but always lucked out with weather. Never once raced in the rain. What a way to learn. It was raining pretty good and all that standing water was brutal. At first, had some vision issues. Windshield fogged up so bad I literally couldn't see the racetrack right in front of me at double yellow speed. We had a fan blowing on it, but I still had to pit a few times. Finally got it to clear up significantly and from there I had a blast. Raced with the RX7 a lot, just couldn't get by it and stay ahead. Got splashed hard once coming out of 3b before going up that hill...learned not to go side by side with anyone through there. I also ran the closing shift of Saturday, driving the Hombre/S10 pick up (with the wooden stake body). The track was stupid slick for the last hour. I could hardly control the truck, even at really slow speeds. Thankfully, Sonic (Chris) was driving the Civic and helped me find the wet line where there was actually some grip, so I was able to pick up speed toward the end.

I was searching to see if anyone posted YouTube video of Saturday. This is from the Focus hatchback car...no idea what time it was taken, but judging by the lack of cars on the track, I'm guessing mid-day. Racing in the rain
