Cain't Git Bayou: Granada Still Running, MX-3 Leads
I must admit that I assumed the first-ever Ford Granada in LeMons history would fall apart on the track within minutes of the green flag, but the Swamp Thang is still groaning around the course after nearly two hours.
Meanwhile, the two-time LeMons South winners of Hong Norrth Racing are sitting in the overall lead. With 12 hours to go, however, no lead is safe.

It makes me want to build one too, only mine would be the GRENADE!
Spotted the 302c.i. call out on the hood of the Granada. Thank goodness, I still have a chance to rock the first "Log" motor. It's log, it's log, its big, its heavy its wood....
