Default 24 hours of lemons at Thunderhill

Driving while Awesome just ran our 1985 1/2 944 in our 3rd 24 hours of lemons, and we placed 10th. Would have done better if we didn't get rear ended making us have to reattach the muffler, and we had a little fueling issue that kept us out for about 15 laps. Can't hurt this old 944. The engine is still running strong and it handles beautifuly. Last race we had a problem that had our car dieing every hour or so then starting up and running after sitting. We replace the computer before this race and it ran without any issues. I love this car.

That always seemed like a fun race to me. I'm happy to see someone do it in a 944.

Hi Lane,

Congrats to you and your team.
The 2008 LeMons schedule has the Altamont race in the middle of our 944-Spec season. We'll see you with our 944 "Fish out of Water II" LeMons car at Thunderhill in October.

See you guys at Thunderhill, Ken. Thunderhill was some really clean racing, and we only had contact with other cars twice, as opposed to the mayham that is Altamont.
