Welcome to Hooniverse’s weekly look ahead to who’s racing what and where this weekend. This weekend’s events are overshadowed almost entirely by the Race Formerly Known as the Brickyard 400 and its bevy of support races, but you can also find a good variety of North American grassroots racing and a 24-hour race in Yurp…

Pardon while I catch up on some race recap housekeeping, as this 24 Hours of LeMons recap covers not last weekend’s race (Coming soon) but rather the previous weekend’s foray, “Southern Discomfort,” at Carolina Motorsports Park in South Carolina. It was an interesting, attrition-filled race that saw an unprecedented number of Class B cars in…

This weekend, the 24 Hours of LeMons rolls into its favorite Southern playground at Carolina Motorsports Park near Kershaw, South Carolina, for its annual “Southern Discomfort” spring race.

This post is about two weeks too late to be relevant, but I’m going to write it anyway because ones of people probably want to read it. On Easter weekend, I worked as part of the 24 Hours of LeMons Supreme Court and liveblogged the goings-on at the same race for this very site. I…

comments
I climbed out of the car in the local self-service junkyard’s pothole-scarred parking lot. I had gone on the pretense of looking for simple part for my sister-in-law’s car, which should cost me about $10 instead of the $300 the original equipment manufacturer wanted for same, but I figured I’d do some exploring if time…
