So the other day I got an email from Jeff Baxman the head wrench for team Mach Schnell.
He was sad to inform me that he was not able to race in the up coming Race of Lemons. Due to financial strains.
And did I want his spot on the track.
I just about fell over. I had totally given up on the race after the news from the race promoters.
I email Bob and told him that what had come up.
He asked for contact info for Jeff and Rosie .
The next thing I knew he had set up the money transfer to the promoters(the money had to be in the next day). Bob is a wizard.He totally kicks ass.
I am still in shock.
We are going racing.
Lucky number 50 will be big and bold on the side of "Bunny" the beemer bimbo.
Now we need to hustle and get her ready for racing.
Careful what you dream for...

The bad news
To Jiro Tulley, Captain, Team Team Tread Lightly:
Hi, Team Captain:
I'm sorry to tell you those smug, self-satisfied bastards on the LeMons Selection Committee have REJECTED your application for the May 10-11, 2008, LeMons SF 24 Hours of LeMons at Altamont. I swear, I tried to stop them. They held me down and beat me with broomsticks. Okay, the truth is we had more than twice as many entries as grid spots, so a lot of good teams just had to get bumped. This time yours was one.
But you still might be able to race.
Because we got so many interesting entries, right now AMP is struggling to find us a second 24 Hours of LeMons weekend to follow the 10-11 May race. If they're able to swing it, I'll automatically accept your team into this new race. If you're interested, just reply to this email with "Move My Ass to The New Race" in the subject line and keep your fingers crossed. Mine are.
Whatever you decide, thanks again for your app, and I hope to see you in a race soon. Any questions or comments, drop me a line anytime.
Best &c--J
Jay Lamm, Chief Perp
