The most fun you will ever have on the track.

"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?"

I was a driver in a third generation Firebird painted in gaudy yellow and red a couple years ago. This was by far the most fun on the track I've ever had and will ever have. Imagine driving a car around the track that you weren't held back by self preservation. You hit another car, oh well! The majority of the cars were imports because they are inexpensive but there were a good number of domestics about as well.

Even if you don't have the opportunity to drive or pit, this race is fun to watch!
There are many more applications than spaces for teams so people get very creative to obtain a spot in the race. You'll see Hondas covered in fur, CalTrans Rangers, and maybe even a Taurus with a skunk paint theme.
