    Took me a minute to realize that shot with "SLR Guy Part Deux" was post-rollover. Damn, the Belly takes a beating and comes out looking...pretty good, actually.


    Dang. Screw the crash tests, everybody just get a 60s Mopar and we're all safe forever!

    Why is it that every set of photos of this car ends up making me laugh my ass off? I love the Santa themed hat, complete with pom-poms. These guys are the essence of awesome, and seem exactly like the kind of guys who would be found hanging out in my garage, smoking cigars, back when I still had a garage.


    When I have a garage again, open invitation to all.

    I think that you mean the FOSTER Farms Chickens... I should know, they're headquartered in my neck of the woods (Livingston, CA)... please correct this. I like Jalopnick and can't bear to see such a glaring error such as this one!!

    @HalseyWallaby: Nope, the team's name was Faster Farms, it's a tribute to the Foster Farms Foster Imposter ads but, at least originally, not connected in any way shape or form to the Foster Farms company, hence not using their trademark.


    That said Foster Farms did get wind of it and rather than be corporate pricks and sic the Lawyers, they went with it and issued a press release... good PR move in my opinion... maybe next year they could get Foster Farms to sponsor their on site meals and give them a bunch of real Foster Farms chickens to grill up.

    Yeah, I'm afraid I have to wade in with the naysayers here.


    Seems a silly rule to me, or at least the season-long ban aspect is awfully heavy-handed.


    How about an old fashioned common-sense based system; a ban for anybody found deliberately driving recklessly, but a hearty bag of braveness-points for he who inverted through simple old dumb luck?


    This is racing, and our training wheels were removed years back.

    @UDMan: Any idea what the red car with the faux '57 Chevy body kit is? The greenhouse looks tantalizingly familiar, but the fins and nose are too distracting for positive ID.

    The upper part of the bumper, visible on the Chevolvo is covered by plastic on the Dodge above.

    Instead of blag flagging them, I think there might be a modest penalty, like ten laps, to discourage rolling.


    On the other hand, maybe there should be a ten lap bonus!

    1. He didn't end up on his roof. He ended up on his wheels. Ergo, this rule shouldn't apply.


    2. Don't they, uh, have another driver? The driver is out, not the team...?


    I agree that this seems like a silly rule.

    I'm sorry they're out. Everybody should get at least one free roll. Just re-name it "Tumbling Dice" and drive on.

    Obviously, there needs to be a LeMons entrant with duel chassis, top and bottom, and a drive system such that either side could complete the race. Rules dictate the engineering,as always.

    Looks like the "Why Am I On My Roof" LeMons rule is going to need an amendment if they're gonna keep letting late 60's Mopars in...rolling over doesn't even damage those cars, let alone killing them.
