Like your cars a little on the trashy side?
So, I just discovered today that the local 24 Hours of Lemons event is happening this weekend in Stafford Springs, CT.
Briefly, 24 Hours of Lemons is loosely (very, very, very loosely) based on the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans, but with a much lower caliber of car. The rules state that every car should arguably have a value of no more than $500. Judges may refuse to let you enter if they think you're bullshitting them. If you're still an ass about it, there's a rules clause that the organizers can buy your car for $500 at their discretion.
That's not to say people don't cheat, they just prefer that people cheat entertainingly. In fact, one of the judges even wrote an article on how they prefer people to cheat.
For more info, check out the rules. They're a pretty hilarious read.
In any case, it looks more than likely that quish and I will be there on Sunday. Our plans are a little unstable at the moment, and we might be heading down the night before to visit other CT people and just stay down there, I really don't know yet. So, if you really want to go, don't depend on us, but if you want to be kept in the loop on what we're doing, let me know.
Info and schedule of this weekend's event is here.
