G Body Monte In Thrid At 24 Hours of LeMons!

A fellow sojourner on the path of life is once again bringing glory to the G Body in racing. May he be victorious in stomping all the lesser $500 cars in his quest for victory!!! http://jalopnik.com/5358189/day-one-in-the-books-rx+7-leads-monte-carlo-catching-up

if you ever want to see G body circle track cars just google for Frank Kimmel street stock, here's a sample and you'll notice on top of each car there is a plate that is used to restrict the speed of the cars. These cars would hit 150mph on the straight and they were concerned about the safty of the drivers who were not used to driving at that speed. On most circle tracks the speed of the cars is keep down with the short straights and tight corners,,,

Not really a fan of circle track or NASCAR, seems rather mundane and boring to me. LeMons is a road race fought at some reasonably well known tracks that usually see sports cars racing on them instead. I like road racing, and the $500 price limit on the car makes LeMons "interesting", to say the least. I would love to enter it, and go for the "index of Effluency" award which is given to the worst car that does the most laps. It is reserved for something off the wall and not the run of the mill BMW E30, for example. To have a chance, it has to be odd, like a Honda N600, or maybe a Trabant. Then again, if I owned a Trabant, I would NOT enter it as I would prize it as the crowning jewel in my collection of automotive junk. Communist engineering at it's finest!
