Another day in LeMons paradise – click above to view hi-res image gallery<\/small><\/em><\/strong><\/div>\n

\nIn case you missed it, the 2009 LeMons season ground to a halt a few weeks back at Thunderhill after the third running of the Arse-Freeze-A-Palooza (full disclosure — I work as a Judge for the 24 Hours of LeMons<\/a>). Filthy 2009 proved to be a pretty hectic season for LeMons, what with ten<\/em> $500 car races at various mud pits<\/strike> locales around this great country of ours. However, ’09 will pale in comparison to the frenzied, property-devaluing idiocy that the 21-race 2010 season<\/a> is sure to bring. We’d like to apologize to our understanding women-folk and potential home buyers in general in advance.<\/p>\n

Still, the 2009 season was filled with all the wonderful elements that make LeMons the fastest growing motorsport in the world: namely, fires, terrible driving, whiny drivers, cheating mechanics and totally excellent BBQ. Oh, and lots of cars blowing the hell apart. You’ll learn all about this year’s champs after the jump, but we’d just like to point out that the 2009 Deconstructor Championship belongs to Ford<\/a>. If you don’t know, the Deconstructor goes to the manufacturer that builds the cars that blow up the most often.<\/p>\n

Why Ford? Mostly for the numerous SHOs that lunched their engines and transmissions all over various LeMons paddocks, coast to coast. To quote LeMons’ second banana, Nick Pon, after he strolled through a typical three SHO\/three dead cars pit in Louisiana, “Looks like someone tossed a Taurus grenade in here.” Just seems to be the Taurus’s week for winning awards<\/a>. OK — now make the jump<\/a>. <\/p>\n
