LeMons: Part Auto Race, Part Costume Contest
February 4th, 2009
From looking at the coverage of past LeMons races, it’s clear that this event is half auto race, half costume contest. The teams that have well-exeuted themes (like TARP, or so we hope) seem to have more fun and evidently get better treatment from the BS judges. Which, of course, means fewer penalty laps or (sometimes) bonus laps added to the ticket.
Along those lines, I have been picking up bits of costume for our drivers and crew to wear during the BS judging portion of the event. Most of them I’ll save for the day so that you can enjoy the surprise, but I had to share this find. Punchline after the jump:
Excellent. I was just going to suggest that we go with nice suits, flashy cuff links, cigars, etc. Maybe roll up our shirt sleeves, suspenders, green eyeshades?
OTOH, don’t want to take my suit camping. Maybe rent tuxes? Heh.
suits would be good.
…and maybe a masseuse on stand by and a hot tub/sauna for the full spa effect?

Grayson, I think that’s a great idea. Can you take charge of procuring and delivering the spa facilities and masseuses to the race?
