comments
[singlepic id=577 w=640 h=480 float=center] We came out of Buttonwillow with some busted parts and a massive to-do list of what we needed to fix, along with a whole new theme. We hit the track for practice on Friday about three inches lower, two feet more noseconier, four feet more winged and with twice as…

Special Edition Überbird Shirt Now Available!

comments
Ok friends of Hooniverse… I was messing around with the t-shirt designer and I came up with this new design for the HooniMerch store. It is a bit on the expensive side because it has multiple logos on it, so I apologize for that – but we will consider this one a Special Edition shirt.…

Yeah, so…sorry to leave so many of you hanging when it comes to LeMons coverage. Turns out, there’s not really time to drive, wrench like crazy and blog an event. No doubt you’ve been keeping up with Judge Martin’s coverage, so hopefully you haven’t been completely in the dark. We’ve got plenty of pictures and…

[singlepic id=522 w=640 h=480 float=center] Team Unknown Fluids has set up camp, cleared tech (after a few quick fixes) and done a few practice laps. For the the doubters out there, the wing’s holding up great (no idea if it’s actually producing downforce) and the we’ve got no cooling issues with the nosecone (that it’s…

[singlepic id=495 w=640 h=480 float=center] Those of you who suspected today’s Name That Part was LeMon-flavored were correct, and commenter “Tiller” was more correcter than most, as (s)he called it perfectly: “Der UberBird’s wing, shot from below”. Tonight we’re putting some more finishing touches on our be-winged and be-noseconed steed, then hitting the road headed…

When Life Gives You LeMons…

…It’s time to make LeMonade! All too often we come across some crazy beater on Craigslist that’s just begging to go out in a blaze of glory. That, or it comes with a ready-made theme too awesome to pass up. Regardless, it’s tricky to wring 150-ish words of description out of 3 blurry cell phone…

Perhaps The Greatest Potential For LeMons Superstardom Ever

comments
We’re all familiar with LeMons racing at this point. Many men in many different cars have won the title, but none have even pretended to do it in a 1966 Sunbeam Imp. $500 gets you a shell and a dream.
