Check out some of the rules, teams, pictures, and workmanship...this is some funny stuff and looks like a lot of fun. Sounds like the kind of racing I could afford.:D
Lots to see, plan on killing some time!

Notice the best part of this car??
Yeah a buddy of mine is trying to talk me into "donating" my VW Scirocco for that.
Looks like a fun time, but not worth giving my DD up for :p
That's a hell of a good time. I think all my cars from high school would have qualified. My first bird only cost me 300, followed by several cars thereafter.
I've mentioned this race a few times in passing, but never gave it its own thread. I've loved the 24 Hours of Lemons ever since I first saw it on Jalopnik. Face it, any race with the prize paid completely in nickles is cool.
Check out Jalopnik's coverage including their 302 powered Volvo build: http://jalopnik.com/tag/24-hours-of-lemons/
