After 13 years, nobody has yet gotten wise to those idiots from the 24 Hours of Lemons and their inane $500 endurance-racing series. Indeed, Lemons has slipped another annual schedule out to the public. It serves less as a yearly planner for racers (who naturally are terrible at planning) and more of a notice to locals to steer clear of the weirdo parade rolling into town.
In addition to a full 24-race schedule of endurance races for $500, the Lemons calendar includes a number of events to expand the Lemons World. HooptieCon (a festival for weird, ugly, and generally uncelebrated automobilia), Lemons Rally (long-ass road trips in crappy cars), and Concours d’Lemons (car shows for the oddball, mundane, and truly awful).
The 24 Hours of Lemons Australia and 24 Hours of Lemons New Zealand add at least 10 more races across two countries for antipodean fans of terrible cars.
Registration is open for all of the races. Check out the 24 Hours of Lemons site for full details and to sign up.
