24 Hours of Lemons →[More:]I took my family to the New England 24 hours of LeMons (
mefi). I knew after seeing the description on mefi that I had to go.
The kids were a little scared of the noise, but they got into. Mrs. Plinth and I both really loved it. There was a yellow flag every 20 minutes or so due to incompetence, but then again the course was not very forgiving as it had a serpentine turn in it.
It was effing hilarious. Effing awesome. From the description alone, I thought I wanted to get involved in the race and then after seeing the driving, I knew that I wouldn't. Oh God no. There was some pretty terrible driving and a lot of squealing tires and bumps. I saw no less than three cars spin out 180 degrees on the serpentine turn. I saw one car lift a wheel going through that. Yikes.
Sample car.
Punishments are dished out with impunity. At one point they brought out a whole team that had been bad and made them to a chorus line routine while chanting "I didn't mean to do it."
Sweet.
