Back when I was a young Orange County performance artist, I never once imagined that someday I’d have a job that resulted in groups of grown men and women imitating me. Being a judge on the 24 Hours of LeMons Supreme Court is such a job. In the photograph above, we see the Ford Probe […]

Not only did the Pulp Friction 325 look great with its DMC-12-style doors, the team came in 5th out of 81 at the 2011 Gator-O-Rama.

I’m turning around and going to another LeMons race, for back-to-back weekends (it’ll be back-to-back-to-back weekends in April), so I don’t have time to do a lot of Southern Discomfort posts right now. Just head straight to the Über Gallery for now.

After nearly six weeks with no LeMons races, we’re finally spraying some starter fluid into the 2011 season and jump-starting this bastid!

We looked at the history of the 24 Hours of LeMons’ Heroic Fix award a while back, and today we’re going to honor the winners of the very closely related I Got Screwed trophy. You can win the I Got Screwed by failing in your Heroic Fix efforts, but that’s not the only route to […]

We’ve seen the 2010 Legends of LeMons medal winners, but so many 24 Hours of LeMons teams stepped it up in the team-costume department last season that I feel compelled to share some of the better ones.  

It took me for-freakin’-ever to choose the winners and do the Unununium Medal Winners post, so head on over to TTAC and check it out.

You can see all the 2011 event patches at the official LeMons site, but the images are too small to really make out the detail. Let’s take a closer look at the creations of LeMons Perpetrators Jay Lamm, Nick Pon, and Jeff Glenn.  

Ever since Judge Jonny and I discovered that extorting accepting bribes from LeMons racers put the kibosh on whining about “unfairness,” we’ve been using special stencils to mark the teams that show respect to the LeMons Supreme Court.

I’ve been awake for 30 hours straight now, so I can’t even recall the exact name of the team that’s leading. Something like Boom Zap Pow! Anyway, they drive a Probe, and they’re battling with the Clueless Racing CRX for the win on laps.

Looks like Spank’s 48-straight-hour El Paso-to-Kissimmee run is over and the Citroën still runs. We’ll see him at the track tomorrow. Congratulations, Spank!

Citroën Hell Road Trip update: After spending much of yesterday morning futzing with his leaky water pump, Spank decided to push straight through Texas and just keep going.

As of last night, Spank’s Index of Effluency-winning Citroën DS had covered the 720 miles from San Diego to El Paso but was leaking like a sumbitch from the water pump.  

As we saw in my TTAC post earlier, LeMons Legend Spank set out on his 2,800-mile San Diego-to-Miami Citroën DS road trip this morning. In the meantime, he’s been sending me regular updates via text message. Right now he’s about 100 miles out from Texas, where he plans to spend the night… if the water […]

The first time we saw this California 24 Hours of LeMons team, they’d decorated their Sentra SE-R like a giant chicken and named their team the Mother Cluckers, in honor of the 2008 Mother’s Day race at Altamont. That was cool, but the Cluckers didn’t really stand out from the crowd. Then: inspiration!
