How did Boat Night Derelichts (109, 6658 BS laps) place higher than Maximus Forgiveness (2983 BS laps)? Quite a showing to make up nearly 4000 penalty laps!
@modisch: Nope. LeMons (and 1 ChumpCar) are the only racing that we do. We don't have the $$ or time for more.
Also, before things get out of hand with "Eyesore has resources", the gull-wing in the background is a press car from Edmunds.com and the shop belongs to our sole sponsor who rents us a parking space at his shop at a reduced rate.
Swing by our pit at a race and you won't find a million dollar RV and race trailer, just a bunch of nimrods sitting in lawn chairs calling each other names.

!!! There's more than one of these? I keep seeing one in Long Beach. The owner either delivers pizza, paints nails or frames pictures.
@Adam Spano: He drove that car to the race and, once the checkered flag dropped, drove it out in the same condition. True LeMons hero, that one.
@gearhead455: You should know that we receive no free parts from Mazda and the turbo is an MHI unit, not a Garrett. You too can build your own craptastic turbo Miata! Just follow the steps shown here: [www.motoiq.com] as well as solutions to some of the problems that we initially faced with the assistance of helpful forum members like your self at [www.miataturbo.net] We've given you step-by-step instructions on how to build a potentially winning car and team, with the exception of how to go about surrounding yourself with enthusiastic people who have multiple advanced engineering degrees.
I love that my four nominees all made your list, Murilee. Good stuff!
@pres: Just don't get caught in the Crossfire! *Bah-dum-dah!*
That car is fast and well-driven! They stay clean and consistent and they've got a shot.
More go without more stop? Sounds good.
@golferal - Now with more Segway!: and the box of Kleenex would be within reach.
@Alfisted: He surely had high self-Esteem to be so Reliant on his skills as a Pathfinder.
Maybe one is a parts car. Botique autos like this can make it difficult to find spares, so maybe this fellow is just being prudent.
@CptSevere: Surprisingly, there were very few large cars at this event. The biggest I can think of was the Lt. Lee Chevy Nova. It seems that most people have figured out that huge cars with massive power can still get caught up in the swarms of underpowered cars, but they have a harder time cutting through than the lighter, quicker responding compacts.
I'm so happy someone got this on video! You couldn't see it at all from the tower. Awesome finale!
@vwminispeedster, pronounded Si-trow-in:
Ein Heissenbrotwagen!

I'm saying an even 1145 for whole lot. You're telling me you can get a better lap count for these three somewhere else? Come on... OK, OK, I can see you're a hard bargainer. I'll go up to 1233, but that's my last guess.
