TrackAddicts WIN the '24 Hours of LeMons'

FLAT ROCK, MI - The 24 Hours of LeMons concluded at 2PM, Sunday, September 30, 2007 after twenty-three hours and forty-five minutes.  The finishing order was:
 
1. Bernie's Revenge (TrackAddicts.net), 2433 laps
2. Car and Driver, 2383 laps
3. The Latch-Key Kids, 2350 laps
 
Forty teams entered the competition, with thirty-nine successfully taking the green flag to start the race.
 
Team TrackAddicts started from the pitlane in last place due to a last-minute repair session to fix a damaged fuel line and re-route the exhaust to comply with LeMons regulations.
 
After considerable effort on the part of the team, their 1986 Celica Supra had caught up to the first-place team, an RX-7 operated by Car and Driver. Tony Swan, the driver of the RX-7, was pressured into damaging the car, allowing TrackAddicts to take first place at approximately the nineteen-hour mark. Strong work from the final three drivers and the crew ensured that TrackAddicts lead driver, Brian Makse, of Toronto, Ontario, crossed the line with fifty laps in hand.
 
The team was awarded $1,500 in nickels ($1,487.22 CAD at current exchange rates) and a silhouette of copulating rabbits, which was welded to the Supra's roof earlier in the event.
