Topic: The Top 122 Lemons of The Lamest Day!

http://cache-08.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/12/2009/10/500x_LNL09-Top-001.jpg

An action photo of every car that managed to wheeze onto the track last weekend may be found here. Awards won, best lap times, number of BS Penalty laps, everything. Yes, even all the Fieros that blew up 15 minutes into the race. Why doesn't anyone run the Iron Duke-powered Fiero?

As always, I'll get the original full-resolution photos to any team that wants them. Just email me with your request.

Great pic and fun times.

PS, the Scirocco is missing in the gallery I think, with the Volvo wagon in its place?

I think we give up with the cursed Celica (though it sure wasn't for lack of cornering speed!)... Hmmm Yet another MR2 or ?????...

"Don't mess with Lexas!" LS400. We survived another one! See website link for build details.
