We were totally rooting for the Motoring J Style Isuzu I-Mark at the 24 Hours of LeMons race at Thunderhill last month, especially after hearing one team member refer to Isuzu as "The Fiat of Japan." Now the J Style folks have written down their account of why their Isuzu succeeded on the race track about as well as Isuzu Corporation succeeded in the American marketplace (actually, the race car did pretty well... for a while). The best part is the driver's response to hearing a terrible noise from a front wheel bearing: "What's the worst that can happen? The wheel isn't gonna fall off!" Famous last words!

Team Motoring J-Style has the only Isuzu at today's race... in fact, this may well be the only Isuzu ever to race at the 24 Hours of LeMons (anyone who knows of another, please let us know). We're giving these guys serious props, not just for their choice of car, but for the Save The Enzos T-shirt sported by this team member. Quote of the Day goes to the Alfa guy at the neighboring pit space, who referred to Isuzu as "the Fiat of Japan." Oh yes, and this is the same team who had the #3 finishing car (an MR2) at the October race at Altamont . Make the jump to catch a bit of video of this car in action. galleryPost('THLIsuzu', 3, 'Isuzu Racing Team Conquers The World');
