About the Trifecta of Crap or the ToC; are the events run in that order?
Sure, BABE is a drive but isn't LeMons close to a demo derby? Can a car survive LeMons and still run the GRM? It would seem to me it would be best if the order was BABE, GRM, LeMons therefore allowing LeMons to be the true final resting place for the car.

Lemons is not the demolition derby it used to be.
BABE has to go first because the car has to remain street legal up to that point.
GRM next would be nice but the prime events we are aiming for on Lemons happen between BABE and GRM
We have no intention of being competitive in GRM but we do plan to have enough time between Lemons and GRM to repair things and add any updates the budget will allow.
And there is no final resting place for this one, Im quite enamoured of it so I hope to bring it home and keep running it as a fun cruiser and maybe a few track days :) At least a wierd autocrosser.

Not much there yet (since we don't have the car yet) but I've set up the Wartburg build site for anyone interested in following along.
