QUESTIONABLE CURSE

Next time you guys count the votes for the curse, may I suggest you turn off the intercom.

It came out over the intercom #88 Cajun Gihad got the curse.

Followed by; no, we like them.

Followed by: we'll pick someone else.

Then there's the hand shake rumor.

All sounds pretty shady to me.

Is unfairly crushing someone's car even legal?

What the hell are you talking about?


"This is the scene where I get shot," Bronson said. "I have these little squibs that explode to make it look like bullets are hitting." "Fascinating," said Bergman. "I never knew how they did that." "You mean," asked Bronson, "you don't use machine guns in your movies?"

Re: QUESTIONABLE CURSE

This douche could at least come up with different wording when he posts this crap in every thread as well as on the email forum.  His three posts here and one on the email forum are all the same copy/paste job.  Yeah, that's going to get you heard buddy...

Do an IP search and see if the yella - er black - Miata team surfaced.

Re: QUESTIONABLE CURSE

Now we are going to have to have recounts for the curse?

Do we need the ballets to be inspected by a nonpartial committee.

Your not Bustin our Bubble your Bustin our nuts.
If Jay or anyone else said  that over the PA, that would have given the Number 2 car a reason to stay around and file a complaint! With at least 20 other people hanging around at least one of them would  have gone over to the Miata and told them they should go complain, or protest or something but noooooo..... They Left!
This is not about what Jay or the Judges promised or didn't promise, what was heard or didn't hear. It's about running,  taking their toy's and leaving because they didn't like how the game was being played.
Grow the F up!

Re: QUESTIONABLE CURSE

Sorry, but we were seated right at pit-out next to the building with the speakers pointed at us... if anything was said on the P.A., we sure heard it.. including some flubs of oops-its-still-on type situations, but not once did anyone in our group of 15 or so people did anyone ever hear anything remotely close to this...

Find me one other person on here who was already signed up for this site before yesterday that will back up your claim.


It's so bad now that when I'm driving down the freeway and I see a Miata, I instantly think "frickin' chicken shit" about the driver.


It's a Miata, get him........

Re: QUESTIONABLE CURSE

I would have been happy to see the Cajun Jihad get the Curse, because they would have put on the full costumes and danced around with their AKs to That Horrible Song as the car got destroyed. They had the right attitude.

Instead we went with what the ballots said to do. I suspect that this talk about the Intercom Smoking Gun stemmed from someone near LeMons HQ overhearing us yelling in our endless debate over who was going to get the Judges' Choice versus the Organizer's Choice.

Re: QUESTIONABLE CURSE

Can't say for sure, but I'm guessing the Jihadis themselves wanted the Curse.  On the weight of the post here, they were 2nd in that area, albeit a distant 2nd.

There's precedent for an irritating noisemaker on the car inspiring a lot of Curse votes; the 3:00 AM siren concerts from the Superkak Mustang at CMP didn't win them any friends.

Re: QUESTIONABLE CURSE

If we had gotten the curse we would have been good sports about it. We are not dedicated road racers and enjoy drag racing. I am sorry we caused so much grief about our 1st showing in the 24 Hours of Lemons. I am just glad it is only 1 person that complain so much and I am glad we impacted there life so much.

Hope to see everyone in Houston...

The Cajun Jihad teams totally gets what LeMons is all about. That includes accepting the Curse if the dice come up snake-eyes.

Hell we voted for the Jihad team since we were cranky about getting woke up a 2 am from their music.

Hell, I will gladly toss a 12'er at the Jihad team for the spirit of Lemons, You guys had a good theme and backed it with costumes. Plus, you all are some cool mofos and a the crowd was rooting for you the whole time.

Hey judges, maybe a SPIRIT OF LEMONS award should be handed out. We showed up with a PINK MIATA and had more fun than most of the no-theme teams. I was fighting an uphill battle with my team about felting the car and doing something outragious, but they all were on board when we got to the track. Maybe it was the fact that we werent up doing engine/turbo swaps all night, but this was our most fun race yet. I kinda figure that is the point of lemons,  rather than building a car that can lap everything out there 20 times a day.

It sounds to me like the cheats are not sitting in the drivers seat of a Miata but irather in the judges stand.

Somethings fishy in N.O. and H-Town.

Yes, you guys got the spirit for sure, too... the vicegrips/tiewrap/stopleak/busted-ass-radiator proved that!
