Ecurie Ecrappe/AUTODENTA Sears Pointless 2010

150 Cars arrived at Infineon Raceway for the March 6-7 24 Hours of LeMons "Sears Pointless" event. One of these was the Ecurie Ecrappe / Autodenta Alfa Spider, a seasoned veteran among LeMons cars. Between races, some minor brake work was attended to, as well as some straightening to the bodywork - but otherwise the Alfa appeared mostly as-run from the previous Thunderhill event.

Conrad S. Nick P. Martin L. Christine K. and Jeff G. took stints during the weekend, and the car was a somewhat frequent visitor to the penalty box during the event - but managed to come out 54th or so...

After the event, there might be a few maintenance items on the list (sticking brakes comes to mind) but it soldiered on through another one..... Thanks Conrad!

Photos below are in no particular order- most were shot by Nick.

Christine celebrates her birthday behind the wheel of the Ecurie Ecrappe Spider!

Conrad behind the wheel - you can tell it's early in the event, as the front fenders are still holding their shape. History has shown that As the events wear on, the wind pressure from the speed of the Alfa tends to collapse the front corners.
