24 Hours of LeMons.

I read about the 24 Hours of LeMons in ESPN The Magazine the other night, and I really, really, REALLY, want to get a team together and enter this. It looks like fun.

The funny part is, your car can't be worth more than $500 (not including safety equipment). So, you pretty much have to buy an old Fiero or a Dodge Neon with 265,000 miles on it and hope it holds up. There are also all kinds of crazy rules, like at one point they stop and vote on who they hate the most and the team with the most votes gets their car destroyed. And if you get enough penalties for hitting other cars or course markers, a woman comes over and welds non-aerodynamic things onto your hood while you're in the penalty box. Oh, and if you're lucky enough to survive and win the thing, you get $1500 in nickels, which weighs over 500 pounds, in case you were wondering. It sounds like a good time.

Here's a video of the race from a car with a hood mounted camera:



I really, really, really want to do this...
