Another 15 minutes of fame?

And so, we left for Willows. We'll sum up each day of the race, but first, a quick side note.

As we got back to the hotel Friday night after a very fun team dinner at Casa Ramos (big thumbs up, by the way), a few of us began to get a photo message on our phones. Apparently, hitting mailboxes that day was the December issue of Grassroots Motorsports. A good friend of ours (hi, Laura!) took a picture of the cover. Who could that be? Why, that's Pujo! on the front cover, right by the banner, the representative photo for the article inside about LeMons racing. Our very own Reverend Scott, there in all his glory coming down "The Slide" at Reno-Fernley raceway.

We're giddy. But if you've met us, that's really not a change from the normal, is it?

Good Morning America!

So Good Morning America was at Reno all weekend, filming a segment on the whole race. We got some good interview time, we may even be in the segment. Look for the guy in the gorilla suit. ;) Sorry for the short notice, though, it airs tomorrow (Saturday) morning, check your local listings, but usually about 7AM.

and we did get our air time, this very shot above! :)

Whew! I'm anonymous so this doesn't count against my 15 minutes of fame.

Jonny Lieberman from speedsportlife.com and Judge extraordinaire for 24 Hours of LeMons interviewed us about our adventures in Peugeot Hell. Like Dante before us, we gave him an earful.

However, he forgot my name by the time he posted it. Perhaps he'll also forget about all the crap wrong with our car when he's Judging it at Goin' for Broken.

Mentioned on Cold Track Days too

Wow, now that we've been accepted to the Thunderhill 24 Hours of LeMons race word is really getting around the Intertubes. In addition to Jalopnik we've now also been mentioned on Cold Track Days as well! Guess this is that mythical "15 minutes of fame" they always talk about!

That's cool but frankly I'm not looking forward to the "years and years of infamy" we'll have to endure after the Peugeot leaves parts scattered all across the track at Thunderhill :-).

We're on Jalopnik!

Earlier this week I submitted a tip to Jalopnik on a potential Lemons car in Wisconsin (a Bristol 408), i suggested it might also fit as a subject for Jalopnik's "Project Car Hell" series.

I signed the email withthe tag line "a Cheese Eating Surrender Monkey - comming soon to Arse Freeze-Apalooza!"

That triggered a response from Jalopnik's resident saucy minx, Murilee Martin. Shortly thereafter the story linked below appeared.
