Dont know if this has been discussed, I saw it in GRM this month. http://www.24hoursoflemons.com. This is pretty funny. I like the idea, but $500? Doesn't give you much to work with. I guess thats the point though.

 

been around for a while now.

The $500 I believe is just the car itself...Safety like rollbar etc etc are not included in that.

 

"PRICE

Entry: $500 per car + $100 per driver + $75 for non-drivers. (Each team must have 4-6 drivers.)

This fee covers registration, track time, paddock pass, club access, track insurance, on-site ambulance crew, sweatshop-made commemorative crap, and anything else we come up with by then. Non-driving team members get all the same bennies except track time.

Not going to be working on a car or hanging out in any of the assigned pit spaces? If so, general-access paddock passes are $40 for the weekend, available right at the gate. Grandstand-only seating is offered by most tracks as well, but that's not something we have any involvement with--please contact the individual racecourses to inquire. Each track also has its own policy on children under 16 in the grandstands or paddock; again, contact the course for more info."

 

my boss and one of our factory reps are trying to get together a car to do it.they're both circle track,domestic car type guys.i've been trying to convince them to base their car on a Honda(and maybe include me as a driver ),but they have two huge misconceptions that they can't seem to get over:
1-import/compact cars just can't be fast.
2-because they're both successful circle track drivers(one in the Craftsman weekly truck series,the other in sprint cars),that they'll be fast road course drivers.
i've been trying to get to do a track day with me so i can prove them wrong on both fronts before they learn it the hard way at the Lemons race.
