    In reply to 24 Hours Of LeMons 2009 Season Awards: BMW Takes Constructor Champion Prize!
    Murilee's right, of course--ideally, we'd have an algorithm that offset the high BMW finishes with the crappy ones, all while handicapping by the number of total BMW entries. On that note, there was one Renault entered in all 2009 races, and it ran for at least two laps. I think if we had an algorithm, Renault would have been the season champion. If we had an algorithm.

    I'm surprised anyone gets anything done all weekend what with all the tomfoolery and silliness that goes on at these affairs. I'd be cracking up so hard I'd be spilling my beer all over the place.

    And, they drive real fast in shitty cars. What could be more sublimely perfect?

    I have found some potential Le Mons cars. Would they allow a custom van to race? Or a 60's Ford truck?

    @Super Traction Engine: A custom van shouldn't be a problem. At Nelson Ledges this year, there was a van racing (when it wasn't in the pits). Although it might have earned an exemption due to its caminoization.

    Either the van or the truck might push the envelope on the 4200lb GVW limit, but as long as it squeaks under, you'll be fine. Otherwise, get an exemption before you spend the time and money prepping it for race duty.

    Classic.

    South Park, I found, was disturbingly accurate as a documentary-type thing on the Jefferson/Park county area.

    Still funny-as-hell, though.

    Well, it would be nice if the LeMons powers that be would use a holiday weekend to schedule a 24 hr race that isn't on the Jewish sabbath. While there aren't that many race fans in Monsey or Lakewood, I'm pretty sure that I could put together a Shomer Shabbas racing team that, like Walter Sobchak, doesn't roll on Shabbas.

    Maybe we could even find a Sabra to race. Here's the Sabra that Jacob Shalit races: #tshirt

    @Murilee Martin: Back in the early 70s, the word on the Sussita (Hebrew for "little horse") was that camels and other animals found the fiberglass to be tasty.

    FWIW, Henry Ford II was a major supporter of Israel (in part due to the influence of his good friend, Max Fisher) and in the 1970s there was a small Ford plant in Israel assembling knocked down Escort kits.

    The only racing that would be permitted on Shabbas would racing to the hospital.

    Between Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day, it should be possible to run a LeMons on Sunday-Monday. #tshirt

    @bozoerrebbe: While I'm in the camp of the agnostics, there are a lot of "Christians" who think there should be a Saturday Monday session. And one of the most picturesque tracks in the country only runs on Saturday, and Monday, and that would be Lime Rock Park.

    Because of some local restrictions, Lime Rock can't hold any racing on Sunday.... Period. #tshirt
