Race Numero Quatro of the 2010 LeMons season left a trail of connecting rods, oil, and bumpers all over Infineon Raceway's once-pristine surface, and we saw our first-ever LeMons Citroën. Want to see the other 146 entries?
Thanks to Nick Pon and Or4n6e for photographic help, and to the Faster Farms Chickens for allowing me to mount the PillarCam on their Belvedere.
Not enough LeMons action for you? Check out the top lemons of past races: Altamont '07 • Arse Freeze '07 • Altamont '08 • Ohio '08 • New England '08 • South '08 • Texas '08 • Arse Freeze '08 • Texas Spring '09 • South Spring '09 • Reno '09 • New Orleans '09 • New England '09 • Buttonwillow '09 • South Fall '09 • Ohio '09 • Texas Fall '09 • Arse Freeze '09 • Phoenix '10 • South Winter '10 • Texas Winter '10.
This was the 25th race in 24 Hours of LeMons history, and the first to take place on a race track that everyone has "driven" countless times in a video game. Did that make for better driving? Hell no! Spinouts, crashes, off-track excursions, and general madness kept the Penalty Box hopping all weekend. Quote of the race: "You haven't drafted until you've drafted the Wienermobile."
