Topic: Curses!

The results page doesn't list the "winners" of the People's Curse awards. I'm not passing judgment on the Curse itself (feel free to threadjack, but I think we all know where that discussion is headed -- to killswitch placement), but does anyone have a list of who and what has received the Curse in all the races? Murilee?

Re: Curses!

I haven't got the Curse for the first few races, but here's what I do have:

http://jalopnik.com/assets/resources/2007/12/mazdacrush1.jpg
Thunderhill '07: Mazdasaurus Wrecks, Mazda 626 (perceived budgetary cheating, sounded like F1 car)



http://jalopnik.com/assets/images/jalopnik/2008/08/PeoplesCurseNewEngland_494.jpg
New England '08: Stugots Lemons, Mercedes-Benz 300D (annoyingly slow)



http://jalopnik.com/assets/resources/2008/07/PeoplesCurseDrop_494.jpg
South '08: Salazar Racing, BMW E30 (drove like jerks)



http://jalopnik.com/assets/images/jalopnik/2008/09/Peoples_Curse_Toledo_494.jpg
Toledo '08: First Blood, GMC Sonoma (annoyingly slow, bad luck)



http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/jalopnik/2008/10/PC_Texas_494.jpg

The Rambo truck was all over the track and hit a lot of people as well, didn't help with the curse vote.

Shameless plug: It's all on the Facebook page...but to fill in the few that Murilee missed:

Lemons October '06, Car and Driver Junior Varsity Race Team, Olds Aurora. Perceived budget cheating, erratic driving related to racing an Olds Aurora, voting for themselves.

Lemons Detroit '07, Rubber Biscuit Racing, Chevy Impala. Looking like cops, being an Impala on a tight course.

We got screwed at The Real Hoopties of New Jersey  and we took cars down with us.
We got the curse at Capitol Offense but they wouldn't let us destroy the car.

More like retarded driving.... they were spinning out nearly every time on the sharp left hander coming off the oval.
