\nThat’s right, the 2010 24 Hours of LeMons<\/a> season champion<\/a> team will be sent to France to enjoy the 24 Hours of Le Mans<\/a>. For reals. Says LeMons Chief Perpetrator Jay Lamm, “I think it’s only fit and proper that the very best team in LeMons see how seriously lame they still are in comparison.” The winning team shouldn’t expect the Audi-style treatment<\/a> our man Damon Lavrinc received at last year’s Le Mans. Sayeth the press release, “We’ll pay the LeMons-grade airfare and lodging. (If you want to fly Emirates, enter F1.) We’ll hook you up with some teams to hang out with. We’ll even toss in some Fodor’s and Sartre.” <\/p>\n

The big question then is why are they actually doing it? Why are they actually sending a bunch of greasy geeks used to fixing things with JB Weld and a Sawzal to Europe’s most elegant and sophisticated race? When we asked Jay where this idea came from, he replied, “Absinthe, if I recall correctly.” However, if you make the jump<\/a> you can see second in command Nick “Deuce-Deuce” Pon’s longer, more thoughtful, slightly NSFW explanation of why plus the actual press release.<\/p>\n
