So, my dad and I along with a couple of family friends are doing a LeMons race for the first time in about 2 months.

We got a 1980's Mazda RX7 that has a decent looking body (save a couple of BAD rust spots) and an... eh. engine (luckily all fixable things).

Now, I understand the whole spirit of the LeMons thing, and I think my dad does too, but not as much as I would hope. He's wanting to swap carbs and do this, that the other thing (mostly replacing parts with new parts).

What I'm worried about is 1) exceeding the perceived 500 dollars and getting docked laps and 2) getting the car crushed inbetween days.

What cars usually get the axe? How stringent are the inspectors usually with things like this?

We're super pumped about doing this, but I don't want to show up and immediately be labeled as Those Guys and have the car get destroyed after just one day of racing.


edit: I can show some pictures, like of the HUGE ant colony under the carpets that we killed with WD-40 :gonk:
