Northern California is where the 24 Hours of LeMons started, back in 2006, and so we have a very large population of fanatically devoted racers in this component of the country. When we ran the Arse Freeze-a-Palooza race final month at Sonoma Raceway aka Sears Point, we had room for 175 cars at the facility… and more than 300 teams attempting to get in. That signifies a lot of teams that got place 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 had been waitlisted final month got very first priority for acceptance to this weekend’s Great Work Grand Prix. Lots of BMW 3-series cars, lots of Mazda Miatas, lots of teams with ordinary-type automobiles that don’t really measure up to the wonderful requirements set by a lot of teams in 2014. Nonetheless, although, some good stuff rolled previous the justices of the LeMons Supreme Court nowadays. Let’s see what we’ve got!
The Zero Beneath Racing Chevrolet Corvair, which attributes Buick 215 (aka Rover V8) energy, is back for yet another try at the seemingly unattainable goal of a double-digit lap total.
Take that, LeMons waitlist!
This Mazda suffered from a grab bag of tech-inspection-failing difficulties, 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-looking rattlecan paint job and hand-fabbed front bumper. You can hardly inform that it spent decades sinking into the dirt on a Northern California farm.
Harold, Maude, and their Jaguar E-Variety hearse are back.
A Volvo 240 with Aqua Velva theme just tends to make sense.
The spare-tire cover identified 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 extremely very good Cookie Monster theme.
Since 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 certain to verify in right here Saturday evening to see how the first race session goes!
