Another Update: This happens tomorrow!! Hunter S. Thompson used to whine that it never got weird enough for him. Usually I’m in agreement. But I got a feelign that this upcoming Sunday, December 7 2008, is going to be pretty damn close enough to weird enough. Details are make believe and/or imaginary but here’s what “too much beer and Chinese food” has come up with so far. As you know, Arse-Freeze-Aplaooza is right around the corner. And that means teams need parts. Now just because teams need parts doesn’t meant that us Judges don’t need parts for our Henry Fjord. But, well, it just takes forever to get your nails clean. Should you decide to show up, you get to run around the junkyard like a drunken ape ripping parts out of clunkers and we’ll assign ‘em points. Say 50 points for a rocker arm off an XJS. These points can be accumulated and swapped for things like t-shirts, trophies and the all important Get Out of Jail Free card. This means that should you “accidently” pass five cars under yellow, you can get right back out on the frozen tundra track and keep racing. Please trust me when I tell you that the happiest racers in Texas were the ones with this much coveted perk. The hunt is taking place at “a certain East Bay wrecking yard” that has little to no idea LeMons morons will be infesting their place of work. Where? You need to send send Murliee Martin or the Chief Whack Job (Jay Lamm) an email to learn where. Think of Sunday like an old school rave only instead of drugs and loose babes there’s smelly men with bloody knuckles, greasy hair and never-ending tails about unbending frames and failed compression tests. Essentially the same thing, really. Festivities start at noon. See you there. Update: Jalopnik’s got a funny write up, too.
