Northern California is where the 24 Hours of LeMons began, back in 2006, and so we have a quite massive population of fanatically devoted racers in this part of the nation. When we ran the Arse Freeze-a-Palooza race last month at Sonoma Raceway aka Sears Point, we had space for 175 cars at the facility… and far more than 300 teams trying to get in. That signifies a lot of teams that got put on the waitlist and couldn’t race, and their agonized cries were so heart-rending that we convinced Sonoma Raceway to let us have the track a month later. Teams that were waitlisted last month got 1st priority for acceptance to this weekend’s Excellent Work Grand Prix. Lots of BMW 3-series vehicles, lots of Mazda Miatas, lots of teams with ordinary-kind vehicles that don’t very measure up to the remarkable requirements set by several teams in 2014. Still, although, some excellent stuff rolled past the justices of the LeMons Supreme Court these days. Let’s see what we’ve got!
The Zero Under Racing Chevrolet Corvair, which features Buick 215 (aka Rover V8) energy, is back for yet another try at the seemingly unattainable aim of a double-digit lap total.
Take that, LeMons waitlist!
This Mazda suffered from a grab bag of tech-inspection-failing problems, but the team’s elaborate (if puzzling) “Evolution Is OK” theme and willingness to fix broken stuff was encouraging.
The GMObiles Chevrolet El Camino is back, now with a cool-hunting rattlecan paint job and hand-fabbed front bumper. You can hardly tell that it spent decades sinking into the dirt on a Northern California farm.
Harold, Maude, and their Jaguar E-Sort hearse are back.
A Volvo 240 with Aqua Velva theme just tends to make sense.
The spare-tire cover found on a highway shoulder adds class to the Aqua Volvo.
Who knew that K.I.T.T. was a Honda Prelude?
Joseph’s Coat of Numerous Colors will be racing this weekend.
Apparently inspired by the Cookie Monster Warlord BMW we saw in Houston final fall, here’s a BMW 735i with a quite excellent Cookie Monster theme.
Simply because this is the 24 Hours of LeMons, we had 2 teams with Sesame Street teams. Hilarity ensued as they mingled with members of teams with disturbingly contrasting themes.
What other race series would have a group of racers that looked like this?
Be confident to verify in right here Saturday night to see how the very first race session goes!
