Ok here is the scoop.
Here is the link to the web site.
http://www.24hoursoflemons.com/sears10/
I will NOT be racing a Porsche (yet) this year. Instead I will be racing a Honda Civic on another persons team.
This race should be pretty insane considering Sears Points layout and the crappyness of the majority of the cars.
If you don't know what the 24hours of lemons is, its a race for cars valued at $500 and less.
Once you have a car you have to pick a theme and dress the car up.
Then over two days you run the car, avoiding PIT manuvers and the random fliped car.
On day 2, roughly 2/3 through the race the "peoples curse" is choosen and is destroyed on the spot. (usually buy heavy equipment)

The winning team wins $5,000 in nickles.
Any surviving cars are given a new cash value and can be fixed up/ upgraded for the next race. Which results in Volvo's with V8's and VW Corrodos with dual engines. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif[/img]
I highly recommend anyone with nothing to do that weekend to come on down.
Tickets are $20 for one day and $30 for 2 days.

We ran a 944 in the Reno LeMons race last year, and are fielding a 5-car effort this year in the Denver one. It's loads of fun.

Only one broken neck too. Basically if you drive on the DC Capitol Beltway you are prepared for Lemons.
