Default 2013 LeMons Capitol Offense race
This year's Capitol Offense race was a hoot! Well represented by Dorkis (too bad we didn't have T-shirts ). Our little RX7 did very well. No mechanicals, and our first ever Black-Flag-Free outing! We finished 9th out of 101 starters; I believe there were 50 or more still running at the end. I found time to get a few pics, but they're still on the cards; as soon as I can I'll try to post something.

But here's one from the LeMons Facebook page. Bambi tried leaping over a racer....but FAILED! Took out the windshield, but fortunately no one was hurt. And yes...the camera was on a boat.......!


I'll let the fellow Dorkis fill in the gaps.

Congrats on the great showing. I was driving back from Pittsburgh with my family yesterday afternoon and attempted to stop by. I didn't realize they were charging admission on Sunday. They wanted $60 for the three of us (at 4pm) so we just turned around and went home. Sorry we missed it.

I also spotted another Dorki wandering aimlessly around the roads of Western Virginia. Colin in his 944. Guess he was looking for a nice spot to break down

That it a FANTASTIC pic. At first I thought it was just part of the cars decoration until I read your text.

I'm 99% certain its a screen grab from a hi-rez video, prolly a GoPro3 hanging on the car/boat.

Amazing that despite facing his/her imminent mortality, the deer had the presence of mind to look at the camera!

I thought that was the car's theme! Imagine the possibilities...

Sorry we missed you. And if you had stopped by after the track went cold, we could have warmed you up with some Ouzo & baklava. Raffi knows what I'm talkin' about.
