24 Hours of LeMons - someone's got to do this!

http://www.24hoursoflemons.com/index.html

A 24 hour "endurance" race at Altamont park for cars worth less than $500.

I don't have any "suitable" cars, but man someone from i-club should tear this up in a beater Justy or something.

I got the car...just need the roll cage and other safety equipment. As I got it for free, it qualifies under the $500 spending limit, even after I replace the head gaskets.

Ed, if you need a driver I'm totally in. I'll just be sure to rock a good HANS device for it.

You don't need to 'have' any suitable cars. You just need $500. I have a feeling the cars will be trash after that day.
