s'ko Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 lookie here http://24hoursoflemons.com/index.html Those of you in Northern Cali/Nevada should get a team together. I am forming a team here w/some guys. Probably not going to be a soob but I will have a soob as a support vehicle. Hope to see someone there.

bgd73 Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 That looks like alot of fun. A chance to take unlikely to what it deserves. We have a whole season here of cars setup for smalltime racing, but called anything but lemons.. I won't mention the track and categories, it is taken a bit seriously by some. I think I am one of few who laughed watching some of the races. I love the theme of the 24 hrs of lemons, great idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack in Norfolk Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I think that a Subaru could be a force to be reckoned with at this event. http://24hoursoflemons.com/ Subes are inexpensive and fairly indestructable and some of you on this board know how to make them go fast! It looks like it could be a lot of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 DUDE!!!! I will seriously help sponsor a USMB-er entering this event. (I'm not kidding. PM me if you're seriously interested.) I would love to do it, but I'm just too far away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WoodsWagon Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Someone please run a 90-94 Legacy wagon. You could buy one for 100bucks, then put a hackjob turbo on it for 300, and have 100 left over to fix the suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subie94 Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 one thing that's in the rules that i don't like is this Your Car May Be Destroyed At Any Time: In addition to accidents and other unfortunate boo-boos' date=' during the course of the race, one car may be selected by blind ballot of all registered participants for immediate removal and total destruction. It could be your car. It probably WILL BE your car. Them's the breaks. Don't bring it if you ain't OK with losing it.[/i'] so basically.if you winning,you can still lose by having your car pulled out of the race to be destroyed...:-\ -not to mention how much it costs to get in just to probably have car destroyed- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4x4_Welder Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Nah, I'm thinking a beat early Corolla (RWD) or maybe even a Chevette, something nobody would cry over if it died. The key would be to take the car, spray oil all over the engine, run it around to get some dirt stuck in it, Kick it, beat it with a hammer to make it ugly, but have it running pretty good. If it's ugly, they may ignore it. Maybe set it up to burn some oil too, run an injector line down the exhaust or something..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s'ko Posted January 22, 2007 Author Share Posted January 22, 2007 I was considering a hatch. I say one in the area w/a blown HG for 200 bucks. It would be really easy to fix. Informal talks with my team have narrowed the vehicle choice to either a subaru b/c of my knowledge of the car and the fact that most team mates own soob or a honda b/c the guy who owns the flatbed truck is familiar with them. Both cars are desirable b/c of the lego like characteristics in terms of upgrading. I would hate to see a hatch get killed. but then again, the hatch would have a 5 point cage installed afterwards so it would make a great track or offroad beater. We'll see how it goes. THanks for the support and encouragement. BW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s'ko Posted February 18, 2007 Author Share Posted February 18, 2007 well one of my teammates sister in law owns a EA82 GL wagon. Looks like we will be getting this as our car. I am going to see if its too nice to trash. Will post picks when we get it. BW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
