urfsin Posted February 8, 2007 Author Share Posted February 8, 2007 It was nice to see the car today and meet everyone. At this point we just have to hear back from the race organizers that we are in and then we will move on to the next stage. I will let everyone know once that happens.

urfsin Posted February 20, 2007 Author Share Posted February 20, 2007 Bumpdate. Unfortunately, I have not heard back from the race organizers yet. I have started the 1st draft of the sponsorship letter to SOA, but I figure it’s not a big rush yet since we are still in limbo. I will either Post the 1st draft for everyone to see or I will PM y’all a copy. Also, I talked to Merv (Snodork) and he said he can get us some racing suits from his friend. I figure we need 3 sizes. One extra Large for the “big boys” Paul Yim, Reza and Myself. One Large (Tall??) for Paul and Mark and one small for Dan. (ß--- might have his own??) On a side note, I am going to be joining CRS / Formula Rally X and participating in some Rally X events this year. I wanted to get some seat time before the Beater race and I want to see how the OBXT does against the WRX / STI / EVO crowd. I know they will eat my lunch on a street track, but on the dirt I think I have a good chance. I hope to have good news regarding the race soon.

Dave Hey Dave, have you tried calling the organizers in case our printed and mailed application never got to them? They have phone and fax numbers as well as an email address listed at:http://www.24hoursoflemons.com/id4.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostjunkie Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 We actually need to get the car up to Yimi ASAP so they can build the cage, so it would be great if we can find out if we are "in" or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urfsin Posted February 21, 2007 Author Share Posted February 21, 2007 Bumpdate v2.0 I just talked to Jay Lamm on the phone (the race organizer). He told me the selections will be made 1st weekend of March. He also told me there are A LOT of entries this year. He said it’s a 5:1 ratio right now for teams to open slots. He also said there is a fair amount of "boring" entries. I would like to think that our concept is good enough and not boring, but you never know. We could always re-submit to him a more polished idea of our team concept. On the entry form I gave him a basic rundown of the team concept, but I think we can increase our chances if we e-mail him some more info on us and our concept. If we don't get into the race, he said they are hosting some other races that are similar to this one. Slide It Sideways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urfsin Posted March 5, 2007 Author Share Posted March 5, 2007 Bumpdate v3.0 Ok, I just got an e-mail from Jack Lamm, the race head hancho. Here it is: Hi, All: Good news and bad news: The good news is, you didn't get turned down for the 24 Hours of LeMons at Altamont, 7-8 July '07. The bad news is you didn't quite get accepted, either. Your entry is one of 12 that I've put on the Wait List pending cancellations or other lame-outs. To be honest, I haven't a clue how many of the 90 accepted entries will flake out by 1 April (at which point they need to be paid up or bugger off). I suspect it'll be quite a few, but that's just a guess. If you'd like to be kept on the List, you don't have to do anything else; you're on it, and I'll drop you a line if and when anything changes. If you want to be removed from it before then, just let me know. We got a truckload of excellent entries this year, and I'm really sorry we couldn't take everyone. To try to accommodate all the teams that we didn't have space for this time, I've booked tracks for two more 24 Hours of LeMons events later this year: one in Detroit (29-30 September) and a season-finale back at Altamont (20-21 October). Of course you'll get special consideration if you want to roll your current entry over to either of those later events. Thanks much for the application; again, I'm sorry you didn't get onto the grid first time out, I hope you still make it, and if not I really hope you keep trying. You got awfully darn close this time All the best--J Jay Lamm 24 HOURS OF LEMONS 5675 Horton Street, Suite C Emeryville CA 94608 510.507.5778 Slide It Sideways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostjunkie Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 That's cool. Hopefully we get in, and with 90 entries someone is bound to flake. I say we get the car up to Yimi (and Paul Yim is cool with that since he is sitting right next to me) and prep it. Even if we don't get in for the July race we should definitely be good to go for October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RezaLaleh Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I guess so..... When can we have the car towed up there? Car has no registration and it can not be driven in the streets. Unless we do it some awkward hours or something.... SubaruBoxer.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
