NON SPOILER FOR THE MOVIE:  One this episode, Vicki, Benny, and Bill began with a deep dive into the history of Captain Marvel and Carol Danvers in preparation for the upcoming Movie this week.  As usual, we discussed a whole lot more and we hope you enjoy it.  We will cover the movie later this weekend.  Benny is expecting a 9.5 out of 10, Vicki a 7, and Bill an 8.  We all hope Benny is right!

We are very happy to welcome the Hydrocephalus Racing Team to our podcast this week.  They are a great team of friends and family that we first initially met at their first ever Lemons race in Thompson CT.  Unfortunately, Vicki and Bill apparently recorded in the Tube of Mockery we borrowed from Mental, so it sounds like we are huddled up in a cave somewhere. 

 If you are interested in supporting research in the area of Hydrocephalus, please go to their website to learn more about it and what we can do to support their efforts at:  http://hydrocephalusracingteam.com/ for all kinds of information and links.

On this episode, we interrupted our Autocross month for a quick update on a recent roll cage installation weekend we attended that was hosted by the Three Pedal Mafia and focused on their new to them Nissan 300Z.  We also cover other work that was done during the Cage Party. 

We also reviewed our progress on resuscitating the 1974 Capri and getting it back onto the track this season with a new drive train and how our progress goes towards replacing/repairing/upgrading the entire drive train from stock 1974 2.8 liter Capri engine to a more modern Chevy/Buick 3.8 liter design. 

Finally, we also touch on preparation for an upcoming welding course that Bill is taking.  

Please excuse a few spots where we lost internet recording.  On this episode, Bill has the worst intro of any podcast in history, Vicki stages a coup d’état of the hosting duties, Alan shows up late, and we have recording issues galore so our episode for this week is posting late.  Despite this, Jason Hopkins who is the founder of the Citrus Racers Lounge was an awesome guest and we hope you enjoy this week's episode.

Things we covered:

• Last week’s Facebook conference in Menlo Park CA
• How many Smokey and the Bandit Movies exist
• Differences between thinking you are ready to race and being ready to race
• Other ways to contribute to a racing team, even if you never drive
• Bill makes several bad jokes about Massachusetts drivers and driving
• Jason shared a ton of great guests we need to have on soon
• Bill begs for all members of the lounge to subscribe to the podcast in vain
• Alan practices juggling bottles in the background several times, I hope I edited them all out
• Lesser know great driving/mountain roads in New Hampshire
• Happy Birthday to Mental (and his hair)
• Dream Lemons builds
• Alan:  Mechanic and Referee

This week, we welcomed Chris Kamery to the podcast to continue our discussion on Autocross this month.  Chris is an avid and accomplished driver mostly in the upstate New York and neighboring areas.  We cover a wide range of topics related to start racing in autocross and what to do and what not to do.  We also attempt to drag him into the dark side of endurance racing.  We hope to see him out at the track soon.  

Topics covered included:

1. Car requirements and preferences
2. Track design and review
3. Typical struggles of new and first time drivers at an autocross event
4. Several places to look for local autocross and other driving events

We may even have been helpful again this week.  We cannot promise this to continue, lol.
