Our 2019 NJMP Lightning Race Review with the 24 Hours of Lemons series includes:  Quick review of the Lightning track Review Alan’s many visits to the Black flag area this weekend Some flagging issues we saw We had a few self-induced incidents and a few outside influences during the race It was Kate’s first race Podcast Reviews finally, Thank you.  Arrival with two not fully working cars set us back for the weekend and we really never caught back up Shout out once or twice to Judge Craigers We had a few issues with the Cars, mostly because we came with not fully finished cars Jennifer was in a tunnel during the episode Car highlights included Speedy Cop’s new Aquarium via 2 AMC Pacers, the Big Bad Caddy and “Wurst Shifter” pit vehicle, Race Bar Car, Godzilla, the new Three Pedal Mafia race car, Matt’s new Surfin' Bird T-Bird, Mom Rocket team for keeping that grassy spot very clean all weekend, The racing Hudson, and the Sunbeam.  Many shout outs to all the teams there, we only mentioned a few of them, but everyone was great.  We were passed by many if not all of you who were there, Track was easier but aggression What should be our team penalty for getting black flags?  Any suggestions welcomed.  Please leave a comment.  We end with our traditional Good, Bad, and the Ugly, as well as what did we learn from this event.
