Team Finalgear in the 24 Hours of Lemons

Quiky · August 22nd, 2007, 1:19 AM

Yes, thats right.. we are in the 24 Hours of Lemons!

More specifically, we are in for the Flat Rock Speedway on September 29th/30th!

Me, Serajadeyn, and a few other drivers are in the race with a very fancy/beatup car..

A 1993 BMW 525i!

(photo of car in progress).

So here is the catch- we are asking for sponsors to help cover some of the car costs (Rollcage, safety belts, fire ext, tires, brakes, and traveling cost from MD to Michigan). If you donate to us, your name/logo/websitename/graphic of choice (non-pornographic please) will get a spot on the car.

(put your name/site url/link to image in the message box..)

Cheers,
The FinalGear Racing Team.

Nice car, you should have at least gone with the 540 though.

You might want to see if the owners of http://www.bimmerforums.com/ would like to put a logo on the car.

Thats awesome that you guys will be racing in 24hrs Of LeMons, the car looks very....suited to its future. Good luck and sorry, I'm poor!

How much of a donation would it take to get to be one of the drivers at the event?
PS I am serious, and have track experience in both Motorcycles and Cars and if you are interested I would want details like how many drivers you currently have and about how much driving time.

Mischief007 · August 22nd, 2007, 2:50 AM

It is a Detroit event? Dude, I might think about coming over then.

epp_b · August 22nd, 2007, 2:54 AM

Freakin' awesome!! images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

CTS_DDS · August 22nd, 2007, 3:15 AM

Cant provide much in the way of financial support, but I might be able to provide emotional support by attending the event...maybe.

Considering the rules, you want to go with whatever you can get, and the past has shown, the guy with "lots of of power" tend not to win.

We removed the fan clutch and replaced it with a permacool 16", which should give us a decent bhp boost, along with 0 cooling issues images/smilies/smile.gif

TomCat · August 22nd, 2007, 3:38 AM

Sweet.

Although it would have been hilarious if you guys found an old Volvo just like Clarkson's from the cheap car challenge.

BerserkerCatSplat · August 22nd, 2007, 3:44 AM

What would it take to get an image of David Hasselhoff on the car?

Serj · August 22nd, 2007, 4:02 AM

wheee. we be rockin the bizimmer!

KaJuN · August 22nd, 2007, 4:07 AM

I'm very tempted to come along to the event to add some moral and possibly some wrench turning or any other kind of support. I think it would be worth the 2.5 hour drive. images/smilies/biggrin.gif

I'm not Takumi · August 22nd, 2007, 6:49 AM

I want to donate, but Paypal and I hate each other. Alternatives?

LeMans GTR · August 22nd, 2007, 7:04 AM

Fantastic ! maybe you could tape a webcam to the car so we can watch.

On a side note, Where's the front end ?

vr6legion · August 22nd, 2007, 7:48 AM

hhmmm hey isn't the producer or some one of top gear a fan of this site and a member? why not send them a message asking if top gear could sponsor the car. i think it would be great to have clarksons face on the hood and the hampster and may on either side of the car

one very big hole in that plan.... i dont think anyone knows what alias they use. for all you know, i could be andy willman.

personally im not sure he even has a membership here, you can browse the site as a guest, no need to sign up.

what size of donation are you looking for? im guessing the odd £10 isnt going to get you very far. I cant really donate more than that tho images/smilies/sad.gif

wait! has some one added wing mirrors with the indicators inside them?

watto · August 22nd, 2007, 8:51 AM

Brilliant!

Nice car for what should be an entertaining 24hours for you all.

Unfortunately I'm not a part of a compeny or something that could donate...
