"The crowd. The spectacle. The pall of blue smoke and roasted clutch discs. In all motorsport, no event captures the universal need to whale on old crapcans and hoover down greasy barbecue like the 24 Hours of LeMons.
Each LeMons race is for cars purchased, fixed up, and track-prepped for a total of 500 dollars or less. But before reaching the grid, you'll have to survive trials like the Personal-Injury-Lawyer Anti-Slalom, the Marxist-Valet Parking Challenge, and the Wide Open Throttle Rodthrowapalooza. Twelve hours into the race, the car voted People’s Choice is called in and awarded a cash prize; simultaneously, the car voted People’s Curse is called in and summarily destroyed. At the end of 24 hours, a gala awards ceremony plies the survivors with trophies, plaques, and four-figure purses in canvas bags full of nickels. What's not to like?"
Spend weeks getting a rolling hunk of trash into a barely raceworthy condition, drag it out to the speedway and then spend 24 straight hours slamming and banging into 40 or so other equally crappy cars, hoping yours doesn't collapse into a smoking wreck long enough to win yourself a few hundred dollars' worth of nickels? Sounds like a weekend well spent to me!
All that's really left for them to do is to decide on what to name their racing team. Some of the teams registered in past events have often had classy names based off their vehicles, such as "Team Saab Story", "BMWTF?" and "Unsafe At Any Speed". Others went for more descriptive names like "Half-Assed Safety Fast" and "Our Lady of Perpetual Downforce"... any ideas, folks?
(All told, this took me roughly five months to finish, if you count the time I set it aside after getting frustrated with it. And for all its flaws, glitches and errors, I'm glad I managed to bring myself to finish it. Now I never have to do something this complicated ever again. :V)

Were you reading my mind for sometime? XD I've been daydreaming about something like this for a while back and hearing about the upcoming 24hr of LeMons resparked that idea.
And I tried coming up with two team names just for laughs. "Team Eye Roll" and "The Baconators" XD

I'd been plannign this for a while, just needed to sort out a lot of things before I could really get moving on it. Glad I waited till Rio got on board though, I'll say that much. :)
And I checked the site, and from the results sheets I found those names have already been used. X3
