And the Winner Is…
With perhaps the biggest margin of victory in 24 Hours of LeMons history, the Scuderia Limoni Alfa Romeo Milano took the win on laps at the Boston Tow Party and Overhead Cam-Bake by 96 laps over the second-place Near-Orbital Space Monkeys Mustang. It was a textbook performance for the second-ever Alfa Romeo LeMons victor: no black flags, no mechanical problems, almost no driver changes or fuel stops.
Scuderia Limoni has been racing in Northeast LeMons races for several years now, and they’ve contended for an overall win on several occasions. This time, everything fell into place, the car’s sweet-sounding V6 never missed a beat, and the car wailed to victory with a comfortable 50-minute cushion over the competition.
Congratulations, Scuderia Limoni!
