AHHH I want to join the 24 hours of lemons one day! I was actually looking into it this year (at the end) but financial stuff didn't allow me to...

We actually did LeMons South in an 86 CRX. We'll be back at CMP in Kershaw SC for the next event April 4-5 (Details here: The 24 Hours of LeMons: cmpsouthspring)

For giggles, I'll keep a closer eye on fuel consumption this go'round. Pit stops were an unorganized frenzy last year.

We also do the Grassroots Motorsports $200X Challenge every year.
