@ViergangFuchs & Jonny Lieberman: Congrats on the strong finish. But Jonny, you don't want to become to reliant on aerodynamics, or you'll end up like an F1 car and never be able to pass anyone.

Good luck for next time.

Senna Hits Stray Dog, Ends Day At Turkish Grand Prix

I actually thought that the race was one of the more interesting F1 races, because the track design allowed for some actual overtaking. And not just in the pits.

@DoctorNine: I hope that they can upgrade to junkyard NACA ducts next time.

You don't know that much about F1, do you? :) Bruno Senna, that amazing F1 legendary driver, born in Filipe Massa's Brazil. :)

@bozoerrebbe: It's OK with me if you want to sell them, though I'll have to ask the rest of the guys what they think.

I'll just say this -- with the hammer down and the good drivers at the wheel (Hi Jack, John, Wayne, Jesse) there were only two cars faster than the mighty V8olvo -- some Saab Turbo which couldn't go five laps without pitting a that effing Cavalier wagon.

Unreal.

Though... I'm sure a bigger scoop could squeeze a few more ponies out of that Ford 302.

Probably going to need an extra Fiero wing, too.

Congratulations Team Black Metal for doing as well as y'all did on your first time out. Herr Summerfield would've been proud.

@AlfaScoobyDude: I second your motion: Herr Fuchs, a class act all the way.

Can't wait for the reports this week and the next time our vikings roar onto the track in the name of Thor and Valhalla.

@ViergangFuchs:
I'd also like to personally apologize to xargs in the Cavalier. My hit on you guys was inexcusable and I am very sorry for it...

Having no idea what went on, I'd like to say that while we all act like assholes sometimes, you are a gentleman. I tip my hat to you sir.

Details, Driver Name Emerge In Tragic Altamont LeMons Crash

Lillisa61 — Mon, 12 May 2008 01:37:58 EDT

What a nice thing to do! Thank you. Court was a very good friend of mine. His death in this event is a tragic happening to all. Court was a good and safe driver for sure. More importantly a good and hard working man with a great drive for life.
I intend to let his wife know about your livery in honor of Court. I know that it will help to comfort her.

Ha! The mighty Cavalier appears to have finished 9th.

@ViergangFuchs: Thanks for that, see you in Ohio.

Of course, when I talked to the absent Michigan member of ONSET, he said: "Well, that means there were 8 people in front of you- so what do we have to do to win this thing?..." Yeah, he's a taskmaster.

Happy to have finished as well as we did, it was an adventure.

Here's a picture I got today that has your Volvo coming through the chicane. I had an awesome time running with you guys in my first Lemons event. I was driving the bright school bus yellow Taurus SHO. I drove the last hour of the race on Sunday and had a great battle with you guys for a while. Sorry about rear ending you, but you braked harder than I was expecting, we bounced off each other so much at the end...it was awesome. That was definately the high point of the race for me. Our car was automatic and we couldn't get it into first gear, so coming out of the left hander that led to the banking closest to the entrance to the track we were super slow until we got to the tires, then we'd come up on the cam and start flying. At one point I was in your doors on that turn, sorry if I caused you to get sideways like that, I was trying so hard to get around you guys. Thanks for the coverage of the race.

@rudolphdude: Sorry, there was just no way to do post as much as I wanted while the event was going on- hectic doesn't even begin to describe it, as any sleep-deprived, bleeding-knuckled LeMons vet can tell you. Check in over the next few days to get the whole story.

What's the green and yellow one? Looks kinda like a cross between a Cobra and an E-Type jag.

@Novaload: Once I get past my sexual post, I have to agree: these stray animals should NOT make it onto the track. It is SO dangerous for drivers AND viewers alike. They should have better procedures in place,,,!

I trust you Cavalier haters -- you know whom you are -- will think about your station in the world a little differently the more things like this occur. Goofballs.

Still, I don't like this "most likely" crap. C'mon, kill this lame brained idea! Put a stake thought its heart! Or a steak though its gullet. Whatever it takes. Let's just get this dark period in Jalopnik's history behind us.
