Last year, we honored—if that’s the right word—the legendary teams of the ’11 season in a single post, but the 2012 season had such overwhelming quantities of amazing that we’ve been forced to break up our annual awards into pieces, in much the same manner by which LeMons cars throw rods one by one. We’ve already run down the best team themes of 2012, the ’12 regional champs, and the ’12 national champs, and now we’ll be admiring some of the most spectacular cars that debuted—or at least mutated—during the course of the past year. Enjoy our celebration of the best LeMons race cars of 2012!
