Insane. That is one word to describe this weekends race.

-1/4 mile track
-39 cars
-30 second lap times
-24 hours
-over 2400 laps

Can you even comprehend a race like this?

Here is a brief recap of the weekend. I’ll update more through the week on race events, stories, and videos. Right now I am trying to stay awake from a long weekend.

The teams sweet concept of the time machine along with the attention to detail and craftsmanship won us the People’s Choice award. The award was $1000 paid in bags of nickels. Yes, 50 pound bags of nickels. We blew by the other competitors with our theme, which was voted on by the other teams. We also finished the race which was not easy to do. We finished 25th after replacing a blown radiator ( with a radiator out of a Chevy Blazer ) and then a strut that was snapped in half like a toothpick from a wreck with another driver. With those hours being lost in the pits the car finished over 1200 laps through the 24 hours. Keep in mind all of our drivers had never raced a car before. As much as I hate to say it….damn those Toyota’s keep on runnin’.

Amazing job by the team and all of our supporters throughout the 24 hours. Thanks for cheering the team on.

The race was a huge success and a blast to be at. There is one more 12 hour race left this year. Next year they are planning 6-8 races. In a few years there will be LeMons races everywhere. You are definitley hooked once you do it. I am sure we will be back again next year. I’ll have more pics after I take a nap.
