    Was there ever any doubt? Mazda’s Renesis rotary engine is the best of the breed, a flawless engine design that’s proved perfect both on the street and track. Naturally, then, it was a sure thing that we’d obliterate the Lemons field with our cheaty race car. Or we would step on our own anti-submarine straps…

    As one of the founding members of Radwood, the car show for discerning 80s and 90s car fans, I’m pleased to announce that HooptieCon is going to feature the third ever Radwood on Saturday, March 24th, 2018 (just a few weeks away). No true ‘Con’ could ever revolve around just a single event, however, and…

  • 24 Hours of Lemons: NHMS Wrap-Up – we won class C and then "complained" about it

    We didn’t complain, as Jay mentions in this video. I emailed Jay and asked if Lemons would be doing anything about the fact that a once competitive class B car can now hardly finish mid-pack of class B. I also asked if minimum pit-stop amount requirement could be a good idea. Speedcreep, as someone called it,…

    We did it! We won our class at the 24 Hours of Lemons Halloween Hooptiefest at New Hampshire Motor Speedway! Yea, that’s right, we won.

    My teammate Andy and I worked together some years back. Being two carguys stuck in the same cubicle farm we would discuss cars over the office messenger while looking more productive than anyone else. When the 24 Hours of Lemons came to the east coast we knew we had to be a part of it.…

    Every time I look our hard earned Judge’s Choice trophy, I shed a tear. It’s because I really wanted to win our class and I got that instead. It’s quite depressing that after almost four years of Lemons racing that’s the piece of crap trophy we have to show for it. But we will keep…

    Our rookie teammate for last month’s 24 Hours of LeMons at New Jersey Motorsport Park was my friend George Kennedy. Despite the fact that he is a full-time automotive journalist, we reluctantly allowed George onto the team. Before the race he has proven himself to be handy and during the race he has proven himself…

    The 24 Hours of LeMons doesn’t really celebrate its own history much, but December 2017 will mark the 10th anniversary of the series’ first race on a Real Road Course™. That was the first Arse-Freeze-Apalooza at Thunderhill Raceway with chicanes on the front straight to keep top speeds down. The series has grown and changed…

    (Photo likely stolen from MurileeMartin.com) Some of you may remember the FX32, a twin-engine Corolla/MR2 mashup that the insane crew of Stick Figure/Volatile RAM racing put together back in 2013. Well, it still runs, and it’s still racing – now with MOAR manual transmissions! The original design was sort of a “soft-coupling” system where the…
