    The amount of analysis regarding the 16 seconds of video is hilarious.

    Remember: it's LeMons. There are no rules on the track, aside from knowing that if you make contact, you'll penalized. No one has the right of way, no one "has the line".

    No one should've done anything, as no one can count on other drivers seeing you or knowing what to do if they do.

    I for one welcome our new 48-valve street rod overlords.

    Pity the rest of the car will probably be turned to metallic mulch and sent to China.

    And from talking to them during previous races and following their blog, they seem to be a true grassroots backyard team which makes me feel even more congratulatory than when a race shop sponsored entry wins. Well done, guys!

    I'd always wondered why LeMons had been Beetle-free. Now it isn't, and I'm very, very pleased.

    @MushyHeirloom: There's been at least 2 Beetles in LeMons as far as I'm aware.

    Great pictures.

    At last! A driver who cusses --when I see these videos, I'm always surprised that the drivers may grunt or squeak but none of them seem to cuss a blue streak, which is what I would do. And do, in fact, do when I'm driving alone.
    I call it "Car Tourette's"-- you hear the damnedest foul words coming out of your mouth very loudly--sometimes I even surprise myself. So, nothing to apologize for, Dude. I thought you were rather restrained, under the circumstances.

    @Novaload: Hell, I do it with my friends in the car, too. (Usually restrained around my family.) I talk to other cars.

    That picture is hilarious. The Bee looks like a cartoon car, grinning at us in spite of his smooshed up face.
    And is that Ian Anderson in the red shoes? Shouldn't he be back in Scotland with his salmon farm and his Tull royalties?
    Whoever he is, he's not too old to rock--and roll.

    This, to me, speaks to the creativity and dedication of the participants of LeMons.

    When what is effectively a 'junk' car is used, then piece-mealed together just enough to run/drive, yet stays together under racing conditions...conditions which would kill many new cars...long enough to finish a decent amount of distance, I am quite happy to know I'm not alone in my quest to make mechanical items last forever.

    Impressive avoidance on the parts of those around them, and bad luck for the V8olvo guys. Hope it's running fine again now.

    I'd like to see the TR7 going again in all its damaged glory, too.

    If there was someone behind the Honda guys, there wasn't much else they could have done - four wheels off, a bumper through their trunklid, or PITting the at-fault driver... well, I don't blame him.

    (If there wasn't anyone on his arse, he should've let off, of course, but it's likely that he couldn't and was hoping the 'B pilot woke up.)
