hahahehe.....Yeah, I also was curious about that. I guess sometime's it's good to get away from the forums every now & then. I've been addicted to this forum for a while now, so I think it would be wise of me to back off a little.

Helps my mind breathe....hehe

Anyone else racing the LeMons 24HR at MSR Houston this weekend? Here's our entry, Team Roadkill's armadillo, a 63 Type 3 VW Fastback with a Vanagon motor. Drop by the pit and kick a panel or tag the car.

Yes, the tails moves, there's a cable pull in the cockpit, along with a pooper chute which drops brown tennis balls, the red ass spot under the tail.

There's around 150 teams registered, weather report is good, come on out for the Sat. drinking if nothing else. Should be an damn fine time.

That is l337

I've always wanted to come see this. Assuming I don't have to work this weekend, I'd like to stop by. When does the race start and end?

EDIT: Your car's theme rocks. The poop chute cracks me up.

Dove and pig hunting. There are plenty of trucks out there. My car was parked in this spot for three days. Oh and no game to bring home, b/c we cooked it all out there.

It was a successful trip b/c we didn't have a run in with the local Sheriffs. Kyle knows what I'm talking about

Blake · 10-20-2009, 03:14 PM

one free taco at freebirds today only for my fellow freeloaders

Nice setup lol. Shoot and then drive home fast... Suprised you had issues with law. Most leases want pigs off their properties. I remember the last time I went it was free pigs and 10 dove max I think. But I guess it makes sense... 3 days and a couple of birds and a couple of pigs = no food left.

JC919 · 10-20-2009, 06:42 PM

^It wasn't a lease actually, it was a friend of mine's 1500 acre ranch about 70 miles south of Abilene. The run in with the law was actually at my family's ranch in southern New Mexico. Turns out they don't like the sound of very loud semi-automatice weapons being fired at midnight. I believe they thought a cartel battle was going down. The ranch I was at this weekend gets a lot of use while mine is only used about ten times a year.

Oh yea, bought the ZCP this weekend too while having lunch in NYC. I got a call and just caved. Should be here later this week, hopefully. Can't wait to get back in that car.

Mark's bro is a recently retired Capt. in the US Army Rangers and he was stationed in Hawaii for several years. The West Texas locals we're giving those Hawaii plates interested looks as well.

I hate pills but I haven't had a solid night of sleep in a week. So I took one Tylenol pm... I think it might be working. Now if my dog doesn't sleep on my feet I will stay knocked out. See you guys in the a.m.
