Great news! The organizers of the “24 Hours of Lemons” just announced new dates and venues that now include a race at the Buttonwillow Raceway Park on the 15th and 16th of August 2009. So far, this event is geographically the closest race on the calendar – about 3 hours away from Aliso Viejo CA. That means our schedule just got moved up by 6 months. Buttonwillow Raceway Park is a favorite of many motorsports enthusiasts in Southern California. It is the newest in the region and offers a complete racing facility. We certainly look forward to it.
Just to update our readers, I have started speaking with potential sponsors and team members. It is very likely now that a 2-car team will be fielded, of which one will be driven exclusively by a group of handicapped drivers. Because of the limited mobility of a wheelchair bound driver, there are special safety considerations that we are trying to mitigate. This may include, among other things, advocacy for the inclusion of safety procedures specific to handicapped racers. We will keep you apprised of developments on this front as we go forward.
