24 Hours of LeMons

This endurance race is for cars purchased, fixed up, and track-prepped for a total of 500 bucks or less--and before reaching the grid, you'll have to survive 2007's Hippie Bike Messenger Avoidance Test, the Incontinent Rottweiler Slalom, the Marxist-Valet Parking Challenge, and similar trials. Twelve hours into the race, the car voted People's Choice (for best concept and prep) is called in and awarded a cash prize. Simultaneously, the car voted People's Curse (for being driven by the biggest moe-rawns) is called in and destroyed. At the end of 24 hours, a gala awards ceremony plies the survivors with trophies, plaques, and four-figure purses paid with canvas bags full of nickels.

Come on—you've done stupid things all your life. Why stop now?

I live near this track (maybe 50 miles away) and we're serious thinking of doing this -- if you are interested contact me.

A guy I know who is a pro car appraiser is one of the organizers and I have wanted to go out there a couple of times but have never been able to.

I am just to far away to make it work out.
