24 Hours of LeMons: Justice Comes on Tiny Wheels
/

comments
Get too many black flags behind the wheel of your LeMons steed and this could be your fate: lapping the Thunderhill paddock on a hilariously undersized bike apologizing to the other teams for your lousy driving. The cruelty’s amplified by the nearly triple-digit temps and terrible air quality courtesy of a massive brush fire elsewhere…

Since our Lemons-loving friend Eric Rood has departed Hooniverse, I am taking it upon myself to provide some 24 Hours of Lemons coverage. Don’t expect anything too great from me, Mr. Root’s coverage of this race series was rather amazing and there is no way I could match it. That said, quick and dirty updates is…

We finished the There Goes the Neighborhood 24 Hours of Lemons race and this time we obtained great results. The “Idiots in the Buick” as Jay Lamm, the Chief Perp named us, finished fifth in class. Fifth! And 16th overall! That’s a huge improvement from our last race, where we blew the motor, and much better than…

[vimeo]https://vimeo.com/136061500[/vimeo] What is the soul of LeMons? Why do these hundreds of insane car geeks take terrible cars, paint them something weird, and race them around a track for hours on end? This video by Marcus Ubungen endeavors to understand them. As one member of the Hella Shitty Racing team puts it, LeMons is “Halloween…

24 Hours of Lemons races can be, how do I say,… Interesting. I don’t mean the ridiculously themed cars or the intense racing. I mean the stuff other than cars: the people, the stuff the people bring, and the cars that bring the people. Last weekend’s There Goes the Neighborhood 24 Hours of Lemons in Thompson,…

I am not a smart man. We must get that out of the way here because it will make understanding the rest of this story so much easier. This is going to be a long build story about me, Eric Rood—a complete idiot whose mushy brain is filled almost entirely with Bad Ideas—and my struggles…

A bit more than a week ago, I brought Hooniverse some live blogging from the 24 Hours of LeMons at Autobahn Country Club near Chicago. It was a full 24-hour race and I managed to make it to the end on something like 2-1/2 hours of sleep and a couple of lengthy breaks. As it…

Look, I’m not going to pretend to understand what this whole Deep Dream interface thing is, but I know there are plenty of coding geeks who read Hooniverse who can explain it (and please feel free to do so in the comments; if you can’t geek out on Hooniverse, then you can’t geek out). From…

It’s a typically muggy Saturday in the Midwest and Hooniverse is live from Autobahn Country Club this weekend for the 24 Hours of LeMons’ race. While last year’s summer race at Autobahn was 14 straight hours (unlike the usual 14-1/2 hours over two days), this year’s is the series’ first true 24-hour race since September…

24 Hours of LeMons: 'Button Turrible' preview at Buttonwillow

comments
The 24 Hours of LeMons’ annual visit to Buttonwillow Raceway Park in the California desert may be the very pinnacle of LeMons-dom: The race has typically been held there in the summer when high temperature peak at around 100 degrees. It’s no surprise, then, that this race goes by the monker of “Button Turrible.” Only…
