24 hours of Lemons

[Charley Lillard]

I did a event over the weekend where you roadrace a car for two days and the car can't cost over 500.00 not counting safety equipment. Absolute blast. There were over 100 cars on the track at the same time. Needless to say, there is alot of contact. Our ride was a 87 Firebird We broke on steering knuckle when we hit a barrier, changed the spindle assembly and were back on the road. This is my second year and it is a blast. http://www.24hoursoflemons.com/ http://www.yenko.net/attachments/377305-tn_001.JPG

TastyKake Car is a must!!!!!! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

[Charley Lillard]

There are a few videos on You tube of previous cars getting the "Curse". There was something like 107 cars entered and maybe half the drivers had never driven on a track before. It is probably the most fun track type driving you can do because you don't really worry about sheetmetal too much. I highly recommend this event to anyone. You are talking about a 500.00 car plus safety equipment. We had a bunch of wrecking yard spare parts. Changed one spindle, 1 set of front pads, 1 tire, tranny fluid, and some of our bottled water in the radiator when it started getting hot. Kasey...That Corvair spent alot of time in the pits but I think it lasted the whole event.

That car was hauling ass down the front straight. That must be the one with the bike engine I had heard about.

What characters! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[47Hammer]

How many drivers did you guys have?

[Charley Lillard]

We had 5 drivers. Each driver would stay out for about 1 hour, come in for gas and switch driver.It went from about 10:00 am Sat till sunset, then started back up at 9:00 am Sunday till Sunset.

Looks like something out of a Mad Max movie---All you needed was some vintage chase music........Very http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif...... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Charley Lillard]

Yes the Metro pictured above was the winner. We finished in 40th place. We ran 272 laps. Track is 1.9 miles so we ran 516 miles.

[Dayton]

I thought you made a typo on the thread title until I saw the cars. Was that Thunder Hill?

[Charley Lillard]

Yes it was Thunderhill.
