The first few MR2s we saw at LeMons races looked pretty good, but since that time the MR2 experience has been a steady drumbeat of spun bearings, thrown rods, and other engine problems. Some blame the oil pan's inability to keep the pump fed under hard cornering, while others point to the cooling system's piping. On paper, you'd think the MR2 would dominate, but LeMons has a way of tearing up the paper and putting Alfa Romeos on top of Toyotas.


Green = top third of standings
Yellow = middle third of standings
Red = bottom third of standings
