LeMons

I was previously unfamiliar with the 24 Hours of LeMons race -- an endurance race done with crap cars.

it kinda looks like fun.

I seem to recall that Mike Jones, of WRPI memory, participates in that race every year.

My brother drove that once, in a beater Camaro.

you'd love this (http://jalopnik.com/5497042/how-a-500-craigslist-car-beat-400k-rally-racers)--it's the story of how someone bought a BMW in crap condition for $500 and won Rally Mexico against professional race drivers in $400,000 purpose-built cars.

it was a discussion of that which led to me finding out about the LeMons race. :)

When I wrecked my Laser, I bought a spare one for parts. I've been wondering what I was going to do with the leftover bits when I finally finish rebuilding the first one.

...and now I know.
