Here’s why it’s been quiet here at DS4, the 24 hours of lemons

You may have noted my post on the 24 hours of lemons, but you probably didn’t realize,, we were in it. Here’s a quick video by Jacob Meggers, our Punk Rock Chef who helped make our race awesome.We drove a 1977 280 to 37th place (out of 96 cars) with only 1 30 minute penalty (Shaun unintentionally removed the rear bumper from the San Jose Scallywags (and their awesome #1 Miata with it’s pirate)).

Sadly there was a severe loss of one of our racing brethren at the event, Court Summerfield lost his life at the event.  If you wish to donate to the Court Summerfield fund please do click here.

It turns out I actually knew a member of the winners team Krider Racing Steve Coonts, (he coached my sister in swimming years ago).

Our team is made up of myself, Jaime Furtado, Mike Przybylski , Jukka Valkonnen, and Shaun Donovan. We all had a blast!  Our crew chief was none other than the ACTUAL race driver Scott Schroeder who drives for TRG racing. The pace of the race went from speedy to nutty rapidly, and we all had a blast!  For a better review, check either our team site for ScuderiaPRC (Punk Rock Chef) or the updates by Murilee Martin for Jalopnik.com

Look for us at the race at ThunderHill Raceway in December!

My next racing event will be at the Jim Russel Kart School in late June for the Advanced Sprint Kart 1 day class (more on that after I do it).
