Some of you have heard of 24 Hours of Lemons. Well there's another similar series for endurance racing a $500 car and it's coming to Colorado. Mark
your calendars and blight your driveways:
27-28 March 2010
Pueblo Motorsports Park (Pueblo, CO)
Entry Deadline: 10 January 2010
WWW.CHUMPCAR.COM
I've been volunteered to be a local pimp, rep, and poc for the series. I've done Lemons, and it was a blast. This should be every bit as much fun.
The basics:
Your car's value before safety equipment is $500. The cage, seat, belts, brakes & tires don't count in that $500. Check out the rules here: http://www.chumpcar.com/rules_fees.php
Almost any vehicle can be a contender. We built a C10 chevy pickup (really) and finished 20th out of 105 in Reno.
There are some mild differences in the rules, but anything built for Chumpcar should also work in Lemons (Lemons will be at HPR in July). This formula is really taking off, there are many more venues coming up in 2010.
There's a forum on the website, and my email is richvs@chumpcar.com I hope to see you there.
March 27th! When was the last time you brought a backup set of snows to a road course?!
