Application in for "Vodden The Hell Are We Doing" at Thunderhill

Our application for the September 12-13 "Vodden the Hell We Are Doing" at Thunderhill has been submitted. I have kept the Half-Life Racing theme with Seize-Z-um and Ra-D-um. Here is a copy of the theme concept: 

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 21 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, smoky and glowing with the labels Seize-Z-um and Ra-D-um on them. Who am I to argue? The team would like to bring these unstable projects to the track to test our Half-life theory. 

For this race, we will have some changes in the driver lineup. Several regulars Queen, Torch, and Tow will be away and will miss this race, safe travels.  

 
 

From the old guard, Lugnut, Piccaso, Sparky, and myself will hit the track. We also have brought at least two new nuts to try their hands at Lemons. I am still working on nicknames, so I'll use first names for them, but feel free to weigh in on that.  

 
 

The first one, Don is a ringer from Tucson. I have raced with him in Karting, and seen him run his B210 at Sonoma. The second is Greg, who I also have raced in Karting and seen handle the traffic well. Now they get to try their hands and experience the Lemons. 

So, for now we wait.  Historically acceptance is announced on Tuesday following submission.
