The 24 Hours of Lemons Forums → Bench Racing → Officially Done-To-Death Themes, Part CVII: Gulf Oil GT40
This may be the most done-to-death Lemons theme, though it's possible that we've seen more General Lees than Gulfmobiles (I was able to find five different ones without even trying, and there are many more). In any case, stop it. Just stop.
Nick has a great idea: paint your car in the color scheme of the last-place car at the '68 24 Hours of Le Mans. It was a GT40, too! Much more appropriate for Lemons.
Yeah, but its nice looking at least.. Not like those losers that just paint obscenities on their car.

after reading up on that, i'm not sure i'd want to. in order to get the theme accurate, does the driver's door have to open at speed, or will you overlook that part
I think that might be a critical part of the theme. You are supposed to have door bars in your cage for a reason.....

Agreed! trekkor, the time has come. Your car is right. Use the theme I suggested to you.
After Sears, we'll let go of the Gulf theme....
KT
On second thought...
Who knows?
Several teams continue to run race after race with no theme change.
( dent removal is not a theme change, right )

There's a Gulf-themed 914 showing up at Infineon. In this case, however, the paint job is appropriate. You will see why.
May I have peek...Or some more hints, please?

Perhaps if it's sufficiently awesome:

I keep saying that we'd love to see a Liberace theme, complete with fully rhinestoned-out car and the team wearing 100-pound bling-heavy cloaks, but nobody seems to take that one seriously. Come on, candelabras on the hood!

I believe over Tequila and pizza you also mentioned that similar, yet different, Team Gay would be pretty awesome...
Of course I believe over Tequila and pizza, everything is pretty awesome..

Aren't there enough Miatas?
Liberace's rhinestone encrusted Excalibur is the best way to be absolutely fabulous.
I like the Gulf theme.
After Sears Pointless, we will be legendary...Just wait!

Team Flamboyantly Gay would also be great, especially in Texas.

Custom made for a miata.

I actually wanted to do Ambiguously Gay Duo, but two of our drivers would just be left out.
My next them will have to be Village People.

It was on the track... for 90% of saturday... it blew up after that... it couldn't take 3 full Lemons races apparently... but it'll be back for the next race.

Excellent... I would like to see how it pits against our creation. Bring a spare engine...

I can confirm that. And the photo of Jay Lamb on the rear license plate valence didn't earn them any mercy in the penalty box, either. Cheers guys, see you at Eagles Canyon.
