    LeMons this weekend is at MotorSport Ranch in Houston, not the one in Cresson.

    Didn't AJ say that they had already sold out of tickets?

    This conversation happened while we got the car aligned. But Like Speed said I'd call ahead of time to be sure your not driving for 10 hours just to burn gas.
    Blah blah blah!

    I got an email from Leslie at MSR Houston and was told they had plenty of room for spectators and to call the Lemons organizers to confirm. So I just got off the phone with Nick at Driversdoor and he said that the online sales were stopped but at the gate sales would be on. He said they won't stop at the gate sales and to not worry if we're driving all the way down from Dallas that no one would be turned away. He said $20 a day or $30 weekend pass and that gets you in the paddock area too. I didn't ask if Friday was open to spectators. He said you can crew for $75 but I don't know what that gets you and I doubt team Miagra needs the help.

    So besides me, who else is seriously thinking about going and when? I'm thinking of going down Friday day and coming back Monday day.

    I'm heading down Saturday afternoon. I pricelined a cheap rate at the Hyatt Regency in Downtown Houston for the night and I will spend Sunday at the race, then make a mad dash back home Sunday night.
