    I'm so glad one of the channels I follow is actually getting the cars out onto tracks, unto roads and not just built and sitting under covers on the lifts. You guys should do more destination road trips and events with your builds, makes the cars feel like enjoying them is the goal and not just an idea. Keep it up.

    That stretch of RVs has been getting larger the past year. A lot of those people are working. Low wages plus high housing costs keep even the determined from stable housing.

    The Lemons brake solution that works for many teams is ST43 compound pads, blank rotors (no holes), and ATE Typ 200/Motul 600 fluid. That will last several races, for my Volvo wagon it lasts 6-8 races.

    Hey Chris, just wanted to point out a LOT of homeless people actually do have jobs. They just don't make a living wage. I bet a lot of those people in the RVs actually work at that warehouse so they dont have to waste what little they have on a commute. Yes some will be the stereotype, but its not the truth, its what society wants us tk thjnk so we feel okay treating them like trash. The real problem is that 58% of Americans live paycheque to paycheque, not laziness

      so in any type of racing there are penalties for screwing up. Like hitting other cars on the track, going 2 or 4 wheels off the track. Reckless driving. All those things carry a penalty. And in lemons when youre caught doing one of those things, they wave a black flag at you on the race track. Its a signal to come in to the pits, talk with the lemons staff about your mistake and how not to do it again. Interesting fact, we have never had a black flag waived at us, we've always self reported when we make mistakes.

      The funny thing about those "homeless" are they? If you have an R/V and a $200,000 motorhome, you're not homeless. THOUSANDS of people are ditching a house, or a tiny condo or BS apartment for living in a trailer or even a van. There are some people who have said "screw the working 9 to 5" and living the van life.
      I spent every summer living in a tent (while my parents had the nice park model trailer lol).
      I tell you, when I reach the point where I can no longer work (due to physical issues) I've half a mind to buy a van, a trailer for my motorcycle and hit the road.....the only issue these days is gas prices.
