Buttonwillow Trip Update...
Trip Update: We pulled over and picked up jumper cables to daisy chain the RV deep cycle battery and the motor battery together!! We pulled the battery out of the race car too.
The best part is that we have the Battery charger ZIP TIED to the front grill of the RV!! HAHA!!
One more hour to go and we are running 12 volts and headlights now. I think we'll make it! Buttonwillow or BUST!
RV Alternator just went out...
In route to Buttonwillow right now.... The alternator just went out in the Bounder RV. So in typical Lemons fashion, we fired up the generator and ran an extension from the generator to the engine bay, charging the battery as we drive!!!! Classic!
Rye is on the phone calling auto parts shops trying to find a new alternator to pick up, no luck yet! All is going well so far... but we'll see what happens once we turn the headlights on!
What's the worst that could happen!?! HAHAHA
Abra F-ing Cadabra.

Thunderhill 2011 Race Awards...
After getting the Lap Time data for Dirty Duck Racing Magic Rabbit, the Hot Shoe award for Thunderhill Arse-Sweat 2011 goes to Rye with a best lap of 2:27.6 on lap 183. Congratualations.
The Most Improved Driver award goes to Darrell, he went from a best of 2:51.3 last year to 2:35.5, almost 16 second improvement or 9%.
Here are the fastest laps for each driver and comparison to last year:
Not too surprising that all our fastest laps occurred on Sunday, after our new best friend, Jeremy, got our alignment back in shape Saturday evening. The good news is there is only a spread of 8 seconds or just 5% between all the drivers top times. This is what makes us contenders, no weak links (other than our head set connections, but we will fix that).
The Quickest Pit Stop award goes to the team of Ted and Tedders with a driver change and refueling time of 3:11.7 on Sunday. This time includes driving into and out of the pits. Second quickest pit stop was Tedders and Paul on Sunday at 3:15.8. So the common element is Tedders, youth and some quick feet!
And the Best Pit Crew award goes to Peter and Kelly.
And rounding out the Dirty Duck Racing awards:
-Best Brownies award goes to Nancy L
-Best Beans award goes to Nancy F
-Best Salad award goes to Kristin
-Best Track Dog award goes to Dixie Dog
And the DDR Saved our Bacon award goes to the Thunderhill Fork Lift Driver who picked up the front end of our broken car and lifted it onto the trailer. Otherwise, we would have stayed at the track overnight trying to figure a way load the Magic Rabbit.
It takes a fantastic team to race as well as DDR did this last weekend and I want to thank everyone for their efforts.
