Hooniverse 24 Hours of Lemons: Buick skips a race
/

comments
The 24 Hours of LeMons’ “Halloween Hooptiefest” is at New Hampshire Motor Speedway this weekend. Eric gave a brief preview of it yesterday. I’m sad to report that for the first time in four years The Park Bench Racing Team will not be racing at the Hooptiefest. It’s not the race, it’s us. The last race at Thompson,…

I don’t really have time to give a full preview of the 24 Hours of LeMons’ “Halloween Hooptiefest” at New Hampshire Motor Speedway this weekend, though you can get the official-ish entry list right here. It should be a typically chilly weekend, but we can tell you that the members of the 24 Hours of…

The term “rolling shell” gets thrown around a lot these days. Ok, maybe it doesn’t. Point is, we’ve got the Ranchero about as stripped as it can get. Motor and transmission: Out! Interior: Out! Steering column and pedals: Out! Glass: Out! Wiring: Out! Front suspension: Out, but now back In! In our two previous LeMons builds,…

24 Hours of Lemons Grand Prix du Lac Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg, also known as the Thompson race, is in the books. It has been in the books for quite some time actually but I’ve been too depressed to write about it. Here is the wrap-up video Lemons HQ. Yes, we raced. Kind of. More on that later.…

While in Monterey for car week, I attended the Concours D’LeMons. Yes, that’s a stretch MG, and it’s great. That car really set the tone for the event, and I couldn’t stop laughing about it. There was also a porn-sponsored race car, a Hella Shitty Bricklin (crowned later that day as Worst In Show), a…

The 24 Hours of Lemons GP du Lac Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg is history, and it was a hot one. More on our crappy performance later, as I am short on time now. I am really short on time, so much so that I don’t even have the time to write anything. So, why don’t you just look…

Craigslist: 2004 Chevy Impala Crapcan Racer

comments
In its four years of racing our Buick has earned some respect from the other idiots doing this idiotic “racing” thing. In a race series were some cars don’t last a full race, or even fail to start at all, nine races on the same chassis is pretty unprecedented. Perhaps that is why in each race I…

Project Car SOTU 2016: 1962 Ford Ranchero… er, Rancheros actually
/
/
comments
To be quite honest, progress has been minimal. To date, the activity’s been mostly shopping and disassembly, with little to indicate progress towards this thing becoming a race car. I’m typing this on a plane on my way to a multi-week work trip overseas, which definitely isn’t helping things.

Project Car SOTU 2016: Lada Lemons Racer

comments
The annual-or-whenever-we-get-to-it Hooniverse Project Car State of the Union is upon us. It has been five months since I received the Lada from its previous caretaker but I have not done much with it. It is basically due to the issue of parts. I ordered a ton of stuff from a place called Zakharov Auto Parts in Florida.…
