Woo hoo! My favorite racing series and the only motorsport event where I’m competant to comment — the 24 hours of LeMons — is expanding. Ten races in 2009, people! Three new races just got added to the docket: Goin’ For Broken, May 23-24 at the Reno-Fernley Raceway in glorious Reno, Nevada. The Buttonwillow Histrionics, August 15-16 at Buttonwillow Raceway Park, Buttonwillow CA (i.e. Los Angeles!) and The Lamest Day, October 3-4 at Nelson Ledges Road Course, Nelson Ledges Ohio (a full 24 hour race). I’m so excited I could drink a quart of Gasgacinch. Jump for the complete 2009 schedule.
