We really want to love art cars, but the problem with a lot of them is that the artists involved just don't get cars . For every genuinely awesome Camera Van or Pedal Regal , you get a hundred beater 323s with plastic army men or dinosaurs epoxied all over the sheet metal. But take heart, fans of car-as-art, because the participants at the 24 Hours of LeMons race continue to raise the bar with the themes for their cars; check out the gallery below for a sampling of some of the art cars we saw at the race at Altamont last weekend. Thanks to photographers Zack Spencer and Amy Judd for contributing photographs. galleryPost('AltamontArtCars', 9, 'Art Cars of the 24 Hours of LeMons');

Among the many cool things that set the 24 Hours of LeMons apart from the more boring forms of motorsports is the stuff that goes to the winners. In addition to back-breaking sacks of nickels, beautiful handmade trophies are handed out to the teams who triumph in their classes. So, after you check out the official list of winners , jump like a Datsun B210 and check out some of the highlights! galleryPost('THLTrophiesTop', 6, 'To The Victors Go The Spoils, Part 1'); Receiving the coveted I Got Screwed trophy is that dice-throwing bunch from Las Vegas... Team Sin City Lemons! The 302 in this LeMons-veteran LTD Crown Victoria threw a rod, like, 17 seconds into the race; team members then made a deal with a not-so-nearby auto-parts store for a rebuilt long block of complicated heritage and thrashed like crazy for hour after grueling hour... only to find that the unobtainable-on-Sunday harmonic balancer was cracked. They'll be back, though, and we'll give you a jackpot...
