    I knew it was a matter of time until an XJ showed up.

    Also, gotta love the Crown Vic team who named themselves "Save the Whale". A guy on tB calls his "POWERWHALE", and I endorse that as well. #24hoursoflemonsthunderhill

    When I first saw Phil Frank was going to be at the race I thought the creator of 'Nigel Shiftright' was back from the dead and ready to do battle on the racetrack. So is this his son? #24hoursoflemonsthunderhill

    This list is so sucktastic, it's almost certainly a black hole. The supercollider has nothing on this level of planet-destroying rampage to be unleashed.

    Slushbox 928? Goner. 2-633 CSIs. A Charade? More RX7s than you can shake a stick at? Corvair and a 914?

    I wish I could even be bothered to wonder what Team Apathy will show up with.

    Either the 505, the Eldo, or the Legend is going to run away with it. #24hoursoflemonsthunderhill

    Hmm, I notice that the cars are clustered in the 1983-1987 range, makes sense. Pre-Post Malaise and cheap. It is interesting to see them organized by year. 73 cars 1/2 the field covered by those 6 years.

    I'm pretty excited about the 928-- I know a bunch of people in the LeMons Inner Circle (which, I believe, is the seventh circle) have always considered the 928 one of the holy grails of raceable $500 cars, and I figure if anyone can make it work for two days of racing, it's probably Evil Genius Racing. I think this also might mark the first time a car in the Jalopnik Fantasy Garage (remember that?) has competed in LeMons.

    Of course, a 928 isn't a real Porsche, no matter what old man Lieberman says. real Porsches are air-cooled, which is why I'm excited to be a semi-official member of the Big EASY team. We may have a VW flat 4 instead of a quad-cam V8, but we've also got a kickass roll cage partially built by yours truly, and the decklid has a paddle-wheel on it to make it look like a steamboat. Big Easy, get it? #24hoursoflemonsthunderhill

    Man.

    Just...man....

    For the Size Matters team:

    "Webb Wilder 'on' "

    This song is by Big Joe Williams
    From down in Crawford, Mississippi
    Lord got he must've sold a million
    Now got to meet him one time
    About a year before he died, yeah

    I was standing in the Mississippi
    Sun was shinin' down on me
    Waitin' for him to arrive
    Directly after a while, my eyes could clearly see
    Big joe behind the wheel of a Plymouth Fury 3
    I was makin' up the driveway looking at me
    I knew pretty soon we'd be keeping company...

    WOW. This is a veritable who's who of LeMons greatness! The first three alone would be worth seeing if they were the only ones on the race card.

    But the Fromage-1---seriously--
    no cheating? It's incredibly witty but House of Saleen, you say? There's got to be some BS penalties in there somewhere. The paint job alone is over the limit--oh, wait. I found the livery lying out in the scrap pile, picked it up, patched it, and surprise! It fits! #24hoursoflemonsthunderhill

    @Novaload: Now you're just being ridiculous. Obviously they scraped the paint off other junk cars and re-applied it to the Renault.

    Also, chrono-alphabetical is by far the best way to organize the entry list. The orderly perfection is the only thing keeping my head from exploding after all the rapidfire lunacy above. #24hoursoflemonsthunderhill

At least there's stuff you can take these days to get to sleep! Try some! Pharmaceutical companies have spent billions and billions to reach you--the least you can do is get addicted for them. #24hoursoflemonsthunderhill

    Too bad about the Pinto Wagon, I learned to drive in one. Ours survived desert hoonery in Utah, a move to Florida filled with the family and all our shit, and succumbed to me thrashing it around on dirt roads there. It inhaled sand. That'll pretty much kill anything.

    Hope they get the Pinto up and running. They're tough little bastards.
