I don’t really have time to give a full preview of the 24 Hours of LeMons’ “Halloween Hooptiefest” at New Hampshire Motor Speedway this weekend, though you can get the official-ish entry list right here. It should be a typically chilly weekend, but we can tell you that the members of the 24 Hours of LeMons Supreme Court are ebullient because they have convinced head-booted presidential candidate Vermin Supreme to act as the race’s grand marshal for Saturday morning.
Vermin Supreme’s main grand marshal qualification is that he already owns a sash, but unless The Powers That Be realize his potential to win over America and prevent him from showing up, you can expect Vermin Supreme to hang around for a bite to give a stump speech on his main talking points: time travel research, ponies for everyone, and mandatory toothbrushing.
As I said, I don’t have time for a car-by-car preview, but you can look forward to a 1952 Chrysler, a ‘73 Beetle with a 250-horsepower Honda V6 in it, a Rover P6B, a Buick/Opel/Isuzu, a turbocharged three-cylinder Saab 96, more great 3 Peda Mafia-ness, the crazy homebuilt Subaru-powered Chevette, and one masochistic team running both a Porsche 928 and a Peugeot 405. Sadly, there will be no Hooniverse Park Bench Racing Buick, but even the world’s best race car needs a rest from time to time. Here’s the link to the entry list for a second time.
