The best part of any 24 Hours of Lemons race are, of course, watching the penalties and punishments being handed out to drivers who received the dreaded black flag for doing something stupid. Head Judges, Phil Greden and Jonny Lieberman made me the Honorary Judge for the weekend which meant I was allowed to do some punishing of my own.

We have over 200 photos in our Punishment Gallery, and several videos to follow. For now, enjoy these videos and photos after the jump!

After two days of hard racing, countless penalties, and several thousand laughs later, the Houston 24 Hours of Lemons race is history. The winner at the end of it all was the #0 Mustang of the Formula M for Mullet race team. This race marks the first time in Lemons history that a Mustang has ever won the race! So, what was the secret to their success? We don’t really know, but we can say they were one of the few cars that never had to come in for a penalty.

True to the Southern hospitality that Texans are known for, the Mullet team donated the $1500 purse they won to a fund set up for the Norwegian Slaab team’s mechanic who was critically injured in an accident outside of the track on Saturday night.

We’ve set up several galleries (all available in 1280×853 glory) and will be uploading videos through the week of many of the punishments that were handed out over the course of the weekend. For now, enjoy these photos and videos, and be sure to check out Jalopnik as well for additional coverage throughout the week.

We are finally back home from the 24 Hours of Lemons Houston Gator-O-Rama, and thus starts our in-depth coverage of the event. We have over 800 high-resolution photos from the event, and several videos showing our favorite drivers getting humiliated and punished by the judges. In keeping with Lemons tradition, all this is done with a great sense of humor and the need to have fun!

We start things off with the 2009 People’s Curse winner, the #56 Miata. Based on what we heard from the competitors we spoke to, this Miata won the not so coveted award by a landslide. Enjoy!
