24 Hours of “Lemons” event – December 29 – 30th.

For those members on the west coast, mark your calendars. The 24 hours of “Lemons” is back. If you have downtime the week between Christmas and New Years, come out and join us.

For those of you not familiar with Lemons, this is an endurance race where contestants cannot spend more than $500 on their car. No primadonna show or historic cars. No factory sponsored million dollar cars. Just average drivers having a lot of fun for not a lot of money. Cars deemed to be unpopular among spectators are routinely tarred and feathered, attacked with pick axes, and rolled onto their roofs. Literally.

Also, see Car and Driver’s writeup of last year’s event. I worked the last event as a corner worker, and it was an absolute blast.
