24 Hours of LeMons at NJMP

For the second year in a row the 24 hours of lemons will be at NJMP. It's April 14-15 but registration ends 2/4. For anyone who doesn't know, it's a 24 hour race requiring 4-6 drivers per car. You can't spend more than $500 including purchase price of the car you run (minus safety items).

http://www.24hoursoflemons.com/pricesandrules.aspx

I wish I had seen a few months ago that it was in NJ because I think it would be a lot of fun. It's short notice now. Has anyone gone or run in one of these?

It has a bad clutch and you want to endurance race it on a set budget that the car itself reaches, seems legit

Well I would fix the clutch and not say I did. There is apparently a lot of shady business that goes into this. Read that link if you haven't...

So basically we can show up with bls' car and just tell them we found it on craigslist for $500.

Seems legit.

Safety is key so they check for that the most. They won't try to see what clutch you have, that's for sure.

They immediatly crush a car that seems like it was "too good" and they do stuff like pour aluminum shavings into the engine.

That's true. I still think its a little too late to jump in. Plus its pretty expensive. At least $300 per person for a 5 driver team to register and buy a car, nevermind everything else.

They can buy your car after the race for $500 They can also crush a random car

Call me crazy, but if we don't need to have the car by 2/4, I think it could happen.

If anyone thinks this race is too close, there is a similar race at the same track on June 2nd and 3rd. The ChumpCar World Series:

Think we just need to plan for it next year and do it right....or horribly wrong.

Pal Performance - Supply the tools/lift etc to get it done.
BLS - All lighting will be handled for superior night time vision. (24 hr race!)
You Get Nothing Vinyl Guy - Wrap the car so it looks half decent
Iron works - BLS buddy to do the roll cage and other welding needs
