AJ Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 i was asked at one of the last autocrosses if i would be intrested in driving in the 24 hour of lemons this october at nelson ledges. so after thinking about it and trying to come up with my part of the driver fees i'll be able to pull it off somehow. www.24hoursoflemons.com has pictures and info. pretty much its a $500 car that 4-6 drivers race for 24 hours. the winner gets a big bag of nickles. the team will be driving a 85' surpra. i'm pretty excited about it, never raced any wheel to wheel stuff before in a car.

Nitrousbird Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 My wife and best friend both want to go to the race this year, and we were talking about perhaps entering a car next year. 4 people total, maybe $500/each....that's not hard to come up with at all!

AJ Posted August 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 it takes more people than that. thats 6 hours of driving each plus the people to support the car when you need to pit for fuel ect. i'll be driving 2 2 hour stints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 so the car can only have 500 in it all together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted August 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 yes but not counting safety gear ie: cage tires brakes ect. so its going to run better than your car at a fraction of the price lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble Maker Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 My wife and best friend both want to go to the race this year, and we were talking about perhaps entering a car next year. 4 people total, maybe $500/each....that's not hard to come up with at all! And $500 for the car, and money for safety gear (not included in the $500). It adds up fast, and you better have 'racing' experience (drag racing doesn't count in this case) or you will be scared shitless. The have over 100 cars entered into the race up at NL.

craig71188 Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 Could you use one more old but experienced crew member? (maybe a driver?) Over 30 years experience in endurance racing (IMSA / Escort-Playboy Series / Longest Day). I'm getting ready to go up and crew for the 12 hour in a couple of weeks, but wanted to do a Lemons race with someone else before I prepare my own car. BTW - 100 cars to start???? I remember near pandemonium when we were starting 50-55 back at the height of Longest Day. That's a lot of cars on a two mile track - although I would guess it thins out rather quickly!!! Anyway, shoot me a PM if you could use some help, I also have two additional "seasoned" crew people I could bring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted August 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 i think trouble maker would know more about the need for a crew than i would, might want to PM him as he knows more about whats going on with the team at this point than i do.

I'm just the hired help... that doesn't get paid. He will want to get on TrackAddicts.net and talk to the guys who are more officially involved. There is a subforum for it on there, should be obvious who to talk to. AFAIK you were the 5th, so there is room for a 6th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig71188 Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 OK - I found the Trackaddicts sight and created a sign in - waiting on confirmation. Thanks for the post AJ - we'll see what happens.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted August 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 it takes a few days before they get around to confirm your name on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
