Red, white, and Cue! What do you get when you mix Bill Elliott, Barbecue and three Police Officers? The 2023 Shine Country Classic at Barber Motorsports Park! We didn't get arrested but we got the goods on all the junk car Lemons racers running laps around the Leeds, Alabama track. Some of these cars are so bad that I could beat them with junk in my driveway! Hey, that's not a bad idea! More on that later.
The number 9 T-Bird stands out among some of the grittier, or comical rides that are here to compete and have fun. Their dedication has paid off with numerous sponsors helping the team meet the needs/bills of running a small race team.
The name "Thin Blue Swine" was borrowed from Tim's, fellow driver and police officer, competition backyard Barbecue team. These guys eat well at the track. I can attest that the smoke bologna is out of this world!
The red and white Ford made such a splash everywhere it went that Johnny Lightning created a replica of the car in 1:64 scale. |
Look out!
Junkyard Life spent the day annoying drivers and their pit crews and standing in their way as they tried to repair damage rear ends, eat their lunch, or get a nap.
Drive your own
Grab a steering wheel and $1675 and you can drive your very own Lemons junkyard jalopy around the track. Oh, don't forget the gas.
