Aaaah, we can go clean up voice problems later. Right now we'll be happy with the page just showing the correct info.
Anyway, you can go in there and fix it yourself! That's the beauty of Wikipedia!

Re: Update the Lemons Wikipedia entry
Thanks for the assist, Greg!
I'm going to work on the race car today... hopefully, I'll have time to give this a final look this evening and tie up any loose ends.
Voice problems are the least of my concern. The problem with Wikipedia is that they expect most information to be referenced, and I threw a lot of insider "expert knowledge" in there. Hopefully, there are enough references sprinkled in there for it to not be questioned too much.

"The 24 Hours of Lemons is a whimsical series of endurance races held on paved road race courses across the United States. "
I think Judge Phil and I are going have to tackle this project ourselves.
"Whimsical?"
That's the best you yokels got? Whimsical?

Re: Update the Lemons Wikipedia entry
Great stuff! How much ego-stroking do the judges want? I can either discuss them in the Penalties section, or give them their own section. Do you want to be mentioned by name? (if so, full name, or nicknames? And WHICH judges? Murilee & Jonny plus Jay... or include others?) Or just use the collective "the honorable judges of the Lemons supreme court"?
Lemme know what you want, I'll make it happen.

What, you think the Lemons Supreme Court suffers from arrogance issues? As long as you use the word "Solomonic" when referring to examples of our wisdom, we won't be enraged. Well, no more than just baseline enraged.

Re: Update the Lemons Wikipedia entry
Okay, had some fun with the Penalties section. I still have the awards section to do, and I think I'll add a section about BS Judging.
Still need to to through much of it and add/verify links and images.
Just in case you guys don't know... if/when the serious Wiki types decide to review this page, they're gonna butcher it. All of the fun stuff will be edited out, leaving just bland encyclopedic crap. Doesn't mean we can't have a little fun with it now, though. Whether Wikipedia likes it or not, we can do our best to make it a true representation of Lemons.

Don't forget the Lemons Crap Table, which we used in place of the Wheel Of Misfortune at Reno-Fernley! Also, Burning Man penalty photos here.
Then there's Studs & Spurs!
Here are the Obama and McCain penalties.

Let us not forget the Billy Gibbons!
