24 Hours of LeMons
This coming weekend (July 7-8), WORKS will be dragging our newest race car, the Mitsubeastie, to the 24 Hours of LeMons at Altamont Motorsports Park in Tracy, CA. For those who haven't yet heard, this is one of the best racing events around.
It is a two day endurance event for cars costing $500 or less including purchase price and prep work. There are a ton of heaps on the track (around 90 this year) which makes for some amazing carnage, and what ultimately sounds like a 24 hour long car accident. But there is a ton of action before the racing even starts. As the organizer put it,
" 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?"
Our entry this year is Mitsubishi Mirage covered entirely in a thick coat of 70s **** furry carpet. Check out the front page of our website for some great pictures!

Me too!
Doesn't all that **** increase hp somehow?
Wild ride to choose. I loved last year's writeup. How ya go about fixing stuff during the race (with no spare parts) is the best part! G/L! Bring lots of zip-ties, bailing wire and duct tape for the race!
