Car Update: We got the car running! Now we have to put the cage in (starting Thurs). We need a differential. If any one has a LSD with a 3.50-4.0 ratio that will fit in an e30, let me know. I will even take a 5 series diff and change the cover, I dont care, the car just needs to drive.

The Kudzu Kommandos Present:

$500 Lemons Madness

The Kudzu Kommandos are a rag-tag bunch of mistfits, once thought lost in the thick vines of the infamous and unstoppable ground cover renowned throughout the Southeastern United States.

After several years of immersion among the thick vines, they emerged as changed beings: Mostly human, but infused with the eerie tenacity of their plant bretheren, determined to overrun anything and everything in their path.

Seizing upon a ratty old BMW, they now take their brand of vegetative domination from the roadside to the road itself! Behold, the awesome power of the KUDZU KOMMANDOS!!!

The Kudzu Kommandos joined forces to run the gauntlet in the 24 Hours of Lemons "LeMons South" race at Carolina Motorsports Park, July 26-27 2008. The team was deadly on the track when the car was running well, posting the second fastest lap time of the race.

Overheating and eventual head gasket issues kept the car off track far too long to continue the domination, and we finished 54th out of 74 entries. With the coolant system issues resolved, we have no doubt that the team will mount a fierce assult in the 2009 LeMons South races.

The Kudzu Kommandos would like to thank our sponsors:

United BMW of Roswell, GA
