the 1969 Plymouth Super-Wedge

Designed by Harry Bradley, chassis and tub by STP built in Santa Monica.

The Super Wedge was designed to fit the stock block Plymouth engine with stock iron heads. However after the body was designed we switch to Weslake designed aluminum heads. These heads were very similar id design to the Gurney-Weslake heads, but were to fit the Plymouth engine.

 Harry Weslake designed, built and delivered these heads in less than 90 days, and they gave a power increase of over 40 HP. But they were too tall to fit under the Super Wedge body.

 Andy Granatelli was happy to exchange 40 HP for the trick body, but wanted the body on the car when it arrived at the Speedway. Andy knew that the body would generate a lot of positive PR. The engine with the Weslake heads arrived at the garage two days after the car.

The engine was installed together with the smaller body and the Super Wedge body was put in the garage and never seen again.

Maurine Sweeney and Nancy Brown were the only competitors in their age category (the 65-69 and 70-74 year old) at the Cyclocross National Championships in Asheville, North Carolina

Maurine Sweeney (above) had a great race into the overall third spot ahead of the 60-64 bronze medalist. With that move she was besting riders in the age bracket below and she easily rode to the 65-69 title.

Nancy Brown is no stranger to the podium at national events. She’s a past Cyclocross National Champion having won the 65-69 race in 2008 and she holds two silver medals in Time Trial National Championships as well.

Some of the greatest/ most fun cars that have competed at the 24 Hours of LeMons

I think the monocle look is a hilarious addition... it so nails the English vibe of the Rolls Royce type

this Mercedes received a Mopar 440 engine

this is a pretty good recreation of the Griswold's Wagon Queen Family Truckster

the Faster Farms Belvedere is one of the true survivors of LeMons, still bearing a topography of dents from the very crash-y early days of LeMons where the car and team were the initial (and to date only) recipients of a LeMons Lifetime (Under)achievement Award.

The Lady of Perpetual Downforce – Honda Civic

 O Most Divine Lady of Gurney Flaps, assist us in the need for more grip to our tires. Though our speeds be low and heft be great, we know only that we must affix elements of grand scale and hope for you to intercede on our behalf. We beseech you in our quest for a mere section of Thy Holiest Cessna and require that its Mighty Ailerons move with Ye Middle Pedal’s travels to greater arrest our low speeds. Pray for us that our Emaculant Rudder be not only superficial, but also of true might and righteousness
