I raced with Tribe IDP's Quest team last year at Halloween Hooptiefest's at NHMS in Oct 27-28, 2012. What a blast!!! Lemons is about safety, silliness, racing and fun. Within the first 2 laps of the 15 hour race we started 120th but ended up 10th which was a feat. IMAGINE 135 cars at NHMS on track at the same time! :O My co-drivers with COMSCCers like myself, we knew NHMS and could mgmt traffic well yet we still felt a need to compete and do well. Yeah, there were some drivers that didn't have a clue yet I need to give them credit - they were out there trying, doing their best. Of course, there was ONE team that was all out of sorts... hence they got black flagged after they fendered a number of us. Bye bye. But whatev'... we were driving an e30 eta car that was banged up anyways and no one was remotely close to getting hurt. It is cheap and fun enduro racing. I spent $600 the whole weekend between gas, tires (Azenis) and seat time. PLEASE... a fraction of a SCCA weekend yet I totally agree with the write-up. You can't compare two on the same plain - they are just different.
Here's some video from the event. The Tribe IDP's Quest car is painted half white and the other black, representing east coast vs west coast rap. Headlights and brakelights were removed and replaced with 6x9 speakers. We added a mid-mounted brake light btw. We cut two round 6" holes on the rear quarter panels and installed sub-woofers. The trunk had amps and amps and amps of amplifiers connected to a rear deck mounted ipod which blasted rap music all day on Sunday. Enjoy.
