New Team Name :Half-Life Racing (Seize-Z-um and Ray-D-um)


Below is the essay used for the lemons applications:

As veterans (or suckers) of numerous Lemons campaigns, we have seen a lot since our first viewing at the final Altamont race.  To compete with the current level of depravity and/or raw genius (your choice) we searched high and low to find a better way around the track.  We have done everything our feeble minds could think of so we enlisted the help of a scientist friend, Dr. Spanner from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory to aid in our car upgrades.  After reviewing the data from the 16 races the team has run, the doctor’s best scientific theory was to decrease the teams’ failures by increasing the half-life of the cars.  

This made no sense to me at first.  However, after a “few” beers at the 1st Street Ale House, (which I highly recommend) my neural synapses were able to wrap around the Half-life theory, and it just possibly made sense.  After some pleading (and some additional rounds) Dr. Spanner offered to take the cars in for some gamma ray treatments, cheap (since this is a Lemons race after all). 

What is the worse thing that could happen? 

Well, we have them back a little unstable, smokey and glowing with the labels Seize-Z-um and Ra-D-um on them.  Well who am I to argue? The team would like to bring, the beer, and these unstable projects to the track to test our Half-life theory.

Well, this seams to work, because as I check today we are in unofficially in.  This is not a great surprise because the rumor is that Lemon"s HQ want 300 cars at this race.  We might want to think about our arrival plans some, but for now I am happy we are a 2 car team again.  Now we just need to get two cars running.
