OrganOx Oxford UniversityThis could double the amount of livers available for transplant and save thousands of lives. Livers for everyone! A new machine can keep human livers warm and functioning outside the body for 24 hours before successfully transplanting them, a team of Oxford scientists announced last week. The breakthrough could double the number of livers available for transplant. Livers are normally kept on ice to slow down their metabolism, a risky process that only buys doctors about 14 hours…

When we saw that Speedycop and the Gang of Outlaws had raised the bar to stratospheric heights with their race car made from a Cessna 310 fuselage affixed to a Toyota Space Van chassis during the Southern Discomfort inspections on Friday, almost everybody at the track thought that the Spirit of LeMons would explode, or flip over, or something terrible as soon as its tires touched the race track on Saturday morning. Not so! As you can see in the above photograph of the Spirit of LeMons dueling with the C…

It was hot and windy at the not-so-aptly-named 2012 Arse Freeze-a-Palooza 24 Hours of LeMons, held at Chuckwalla Valley Raceway in the Southern California high desert, and the BMW 5-series cars left their smaller 3-series brethren in the Mojave dust. Let’s take a look at some of the trophy winners from the sixth annual Arse Freeze.
For the third time in the 2012 LeMons season, the 1983 BMW 533i of Cerveza Racing took the win on laps. The race stayed very close for all of Saturday and much of Sund…

The race cars have been loaded onto trailers, the residents of New England have crawled into sandbag fortresses in anticipation of the onslaught of Hurricane Sandy, and your 24 Hours of LeMons correspondent is typing these words in the back seat of a rented Kia Sorrento on the way to the nearest major airport that’s not shut down by weather.. which happens to be in Charlotte, North Carolina. A few hours ago, however, we were celebrating the first-ever overall LeMons win for a Saab-engined Nissan 3…

After a weekend of rain, trashed engines, and crashes at MSR Houston, the checkered flag waved on Sunday afternoon and we had a fresh set of winners at the 81st race in 24 Hours of LeMons history.
Proving that their two previous overall LeMons wins weren’t just flukes, the Z-Wrecks team beat their 76 competitors in decisive fashion. The 31-year-old Datsun 280ZX finished the race with a three-lap cushion separating it from the Team BenzGay 1986 Mercedes-Benz 300E, taking the Class A trophy for goo…

The Guinness Book of Records folks say that the biggest road-race event of all time had something like 184 vehicles. There’s a good chance, depending on how many not-quite-ready teams thrash their hoopties into shape overnight, that we may break that record at the Vodden the Hell Are We Doing 24 Hours of LeMons at Northern California’s Thunderhill Raceway. Of the cars that are ready, we can say that the record for Most Totally Ridiculous Engine Swaps been shattered already. Plus, we have our…

After a dreamy night of Unibroue-induced sleep, I was up at 8:00am. Careful not to wake my parents, my brother, his girlfriend, and my hosting Gran’pa, I tiptoed across the creaky wooden floor booby trapped with slippery Persian rugs and deftly made my way towards the kitchen. I found a banana and a poppy seed muffin before settling into the living room sofa to get my bearings and slowly wake up. The late summer sun filtered in through the stained glass windows as I meditat…

Russia just set a speed record for a sprint that took place a long way from London. An unmanned Russian Progress cargo ship launched from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan yesterday and docked with the International Space Station just six hours later, marking the first same-day docking ever performed at the ISS. Launched aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket, the robotic Progress 48 performed additional firings of its own onboard engines early in the mission to boost it toward the ISS in a shorter period of time…
