The 24 Hours Of LeMons Detroit-ish Uber Gallery
A week or two (or three) after every 24 Hours Of LeMons race, we put up a big, browser-crashing collection of all the photos we were able to scrape up of all the cars. Yes, it's Über Gallery time once again! Because the Jalopnik guys on the scene were pretty busy beating their Celica into shape, we don't have quite as many photographs as we've had from past races (such as New England '08, South '08, SF '08, Thunderhill '07, and SF '07). However, many teams responded to our call for photos and accounts, so there's some good insider stuff to be seen here.

The Top 52 Lemons Of The 24 Hours Of LeMons Detroit-ish
We're still in 24 Hours of LeMons racing season, and that means it's time to show the top finishers in the most recent race: LeMons Detroit-ish, aka LeMons Toledo! In fact, we've got shots of all the cars that managed at least one lap in Toledo last weekend (which featured more Crown Victorias than a typical police chase). When you're done here, be sure to check out the top cars from other LeMons events, including LeMons New England '08, LeMons South '08, LeMons SF '08, LeMons Arse-Freeze-A-Pa-Looza '07, and LeMons SF '07.

And The Winner Is... The Sofa King Toyota Supra!
After leading for much of the race, the #2 Sofa King Supra just grabbed the win in Toledo. They overcame a 5-lap BS Inspection penalty… which isn't surprising, given that this team is made up of guys who work at Pratt & Miller. We'll have the People's Curse- and more- for you when the photos arrive; for now, make the jump to see the rest of the Toledo Top Five.
