Me and the Chard Beef Racing teem would like to congratulate MR Angry and the Trailing Throttle Oversteer teem on their outstanding performance at the 24 Hours of LeMons New England race this weekend at Stafford Motor Speedway. They won a well deserved award ( Index Of Effluency). It is for brining a piece of junk to the race and having a good time with it. Considered to be the top award in LeMons Racing. They did it in style with a 63 Corvair.

Randy- and I hear your team is now experts at motor changes... 3 motors for one race to tie the record!

Watching that video clip, it finally answered the question of how many pieces of junk fit in a 1/2 mile oval track!:razz:

Hey Randy,

Thanks man... that 63 Corvair was, without a doubt the scariest POS I have ever driven and gave new meaning to the term "oversteer". Aside from the ever failing 4-wheel drum brakes, it felt like we had plastic lunch trays strapped to the back wheels. However, it did run like a rock star and never once missed a beat, pretty amazing since we literally pulled it out of a field not too long ago.

As for Chard Beef Racing, you guys are simply awe inspiring. 3 engines, non-stop work in the pits and never once did these guys not have **** eating grins on their faces, it was a riot to watch you guys. :cheers:

Next time we just need to bring something with more than 82hp LOL!

Cheers man - Mike
