24 Hours Of LeMons

24 Hours of Lemons, March 26-27 2011, Infineon Raceway.

Epic. Winning. Totally frickin’ amazing. Overflowing with awesome. These are some of the phrases I caught myself saying over and over again as I witnessed my first 24 Hours of Lemons this past weekend at Infineon Raceway. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that cars worth $500 or less could be so legendary.

Throughout the race it was easy to see some teams really went above and beyond doing big things (that’s what she said) when it came to setting a theme for their car. Standouts included the Back to the Future car (sorry, no DeLorean) equipped with the pole and hook used to send Marty back to the future, a VW Rabbit with a top hat on the roof of the car that, when the brakes were used, had a pair of rabbits that would pop out of the hat, a 1 of 1 Molvo aka a Mazda Miata fabricated within an old Volvo station wagon, and the crown jewel of them all, a Ferrari 250 GTO replica.

I think the best part of the entire race though, were the pits. Hearing the banging of sledgehammers straightening out a fender, the staunch smell of gasoline, reciprocating saws going to town on the undercarriage, and what I thought best epitomized the whole 24 Hours of Lemons experience, a midrace engine swap. The people were funny, posed for pictures and gave their insight as to what they think is the key to victory (don’t be fooled by the shenanigans, racing is serious bidness!).

Though this was indeed my first Lemons, it certainly, without a doubt, will not be my last. Watch out for team CarGods at the August race!

SNEAK PEAK: 2013 Prototype Countach

There has been much talk of re-releasing the favored 70’s & 80’s Lamborghini Countach. Lamborghini has yet to release a statement about such rumors, but rumor has it that only 100 of this recreated classic cars will be reborn. It is also said that Lamborghini will be hand picking the owners of the new recreated Countachs. The engine that is going in the 2013 Countch will most likely be a variation of the engine in the new Aventador LP 700-4. The designer of this recreated car icon is still unknown. In the photo below you can clearly see that the lines of the reborn classic are just as they appeared on the 1983 LP500s.
Sadly Lamborghini is good at starting a project they can’t finish, such as the beautiful four door Lamborghini Estoque that appeared in 2008. So we’ll see what Lamborghini has to offer with this prototype.

This spy photo was taken near the Lamborghini facilities in SantAgata Bolognese, Italy.
