Speedycop, Spirit of Lemons to make $2000 Challenge debut

Apparently, low-buck minds think alike.

I met Speedycop at the Charlotte AutoFair. He's as much of a trip as his cars. I'm looking forward to seeing him in Florida, even though he only lives an hour or so away from me now.

Yikes... after wearing out his welcome at Lemons he has moved on I guess

In reply to J.A. Ackley :

I hadn't heard that.  What happened at Lemons?

Some people running and working for lemons events(management and contractors) were tired of making exceptions and bending over backwards for "his" creations and special requests. 

Additionally a few people in different minorities felt unsafe and/or threatened, both directly and indirectly at a few races.

There is also the terrible driving skills to be afraid of.

Felt unsafe due to the build or the person?

Id love to hear about this. Saw a few of the creations and they didnt seem unsafe in any respect other than some poor visibility concerns.

Nope.  If you've never been to one, I highly recommend you check it out.  Some bad drivers, but very little contact or unusually dangerous situations.

As for Speedy...
