[DeTomaso] 24 hours of lemons - you heard it right!

[Greg Jacobs]

Tell ya what...

I will ready the car if you let me use it.

I will get it up on the lift at my house, install the rack, bushings and
align. If the clutch is cheap enough, I will eat that too. 

I want to win this thing and your car is the perfect candidate. 

Whatcha say??

Mike Drew, can I borrow the VW? I want to enter this one. 

Seriously!

Shoot me an email so we talk about it!! >>

>>>HAHAHAAH!!!!

The green scirocco would be a PERFECT candidate for this race.  It is 
actually surprisingly quick, handles astonishingly well due to the modified 
suspension, stops on a dime due to the uprated brakes.  And it appears to be
as 
reliable as gravity.

I have discovered that the clutch isn't up to the task of running on the 
track though--although that may be down to my own (poor) downshifting
technique.  
Also, I discovered that the steering rack is totally blown-out,
Pantera-style. 
 I bought a new one, but haven't had time to install it yet.  I also have
new 
front suspension bushings for it.  And it needs to be aligned afterwards.

Simply put, it's not ready for prime-time.  :<(

The event itself looks like a gas, and I would have seriously considered 
entering it if I could. :<(
