NORTH BY NORTHWORST
LeMons Oregon to Befoul America's Last Wild Places
Portland OR--According to NHTSA, the region with the highest per-capita ratio of hooptie-*** Volvos, smoke-belching VWs, and oil-barfing Saabs is the Pacific Northwest--ie, our national bastion of environmental consciousness.
LeMons can no longer ignore this significant contradictory accomplishment.
Thus, on June 25-26, the series hits Oregon Raceway Park (applications due 16 April) for its first-ever event in the area. Because of the region's unique characteristics, a few extra rules shall apply:
-Racing suits made of Pendleton wool are forbidden.
-Due to new Tlingit Totem Pole Penalty, teammates named "Shamu" discouraged.
-All teams entering BMWs must show stock-option portfolio at Tech.
-Ridiculous goddamn twiddley rubber-banded Burning-Man pimple-ringed chin-Slinky beards will be grounds for immediate ejection.
Racers are also advised that the venue, Oregon Raceway Park, is so far from Portland-style civilization that it has only four Starbucks on site. For more info go here; to log in and enter the Great PNW Superfund-Site Creation Derby, go here.
