For every team that packs up and flees after frying a wheel bearing or nuking a fuel pump, you'll see several that drive 150 miles to buy a transmission donor car or orphaned-engine head gasket. Last weekend, we saw two teams locked in an epic, weekend-long battle for the coveted Heroic Fix trophy: the Police Brutality T-Bird and the Double Jeopardy Pontiac Fiero. This was the first Iron Duke-powered Fiero we'd seen in a LeMons race (after a half-dozen or so V6 cars, nearly all of which blowed up right quick-like) and we had high hopes for it. Sadly, it spun a couple of rod bearings Sunday morning, and nobody could round up a rod-and-crank donor engine in rural Michigan on such short notice. Race over for Double Jeopardy?
