The
24 Hours of LeMons: Nasty. Brutish. Not Short Enough.
The crowd. The spectacle. The pall of blue smoke and roasted
clutch discs. In all motorsport, no event captures the universal human
need to whale on old crapcans and hoover down greasy barbecue like the
24 Hours of LeMons!
Each LeMons race is for cars purchased, fixed up, and track-prepped for a total of 500 dollars or less. But before reaching the grid, you'll have to survive trials like the Personal-Injury-Lawyer Anti-Slalom, the Marxist-Valet Parking Challenge, and the Wide Open Throttle Rodthrowapalooza. Twelve hours into the race, the car voted People’s Choice is called in and awarded a cash prize; simultaneously, the car voted People’s Curse is called in and summarily destroyed.
At the end of 24 hours, a gala awards ceremony plies the survivors with trophies, plaques, and four-figure purses in canvas bags full of nickels. What's not to like? It's freakin' funny as hell, but the racing is serious as all get-out!
The series was in Kershaw, SC the weekend of September 12th. See the pix our MSA staff took. For more info on the series, visit www.24hoursoflemons.com
