If my parents weren't going out of town, you could stay here, but they have a strict nobody else in rule when they're gone. :screwy:
 
Perhaps these room discussion posts should be moved into another thread, but meantime, I must reply to teh thoughts of your hospitality...

Thanks, all, but we want our own motel room; we need our privacy. :evilgrin:

Way to go, Ricardo Montalban!
I have to say that if the LeMons car choice was left entirely up to me, we'd be running SOME 80's Chrysler product. :evilgrin:

Likely an 84 Caravan with a Holley 5220 and a five speed. W00T!
 
The crowd.
The spectacle.
The pall of blue smoke and roasted clutch discs.
In all motorsport, no event captures the universal human need to whale on old crapcans and hoover down greasy barbecue like the 24 Hours of LeMons.

This endurance race is for cars purchased, fixed up, and track-prepped for a total of 500 bucks or less--and before reaching the grid, you'll have to survive:

The Old-Lady Mannequin Slalom
The Baby-Carriage Braking Test
The Brick On the Gas Pedal Challenge
...and similar qualifying rounds.

Twelve hours into the race, the car voted People's Choice (for best concept and prep) is called in and awarded a cash prize. Simultaneously, the car voted People's Curse (for being driven by the biggest jerks) is called in and summarily destroyed.

At the end of 24 hours, a gala awards ceremony plies the survivors with trophies, plaques, and four-figure purses paid with canvas bags full of nickels.

I mean, seriously--what's not to like?
:lol:

:party:

See you guys tomorrow! Tanya and I will be in the stands, but I may weaken and fork over 75 bucks to enter the pits... we'll see. Only if I don't have to leave her alone in the stands during that time. :cool:


:)~
