A Nissan SE-R that placed 5th in last year's 24 Hours of Lemons (Thunderhill Raceway) won 4 times at Infineon Raceway in the NASA Performance F Class. Apparently, the car that initially cost $500 for the Lemons Series was brought to specifications for the NASA Series. No disclosures were made on how much money was spent but what is now clear is the quality of talent that exists in the Lemons Series. The equipment is just one part of an endurance race. Everything has to come together - driver, machine and team for 24 Hours. This validates the decision to campaign in this series because it has one very unique component - you start with a small spending purse. That means you are competing against teams that are creative, resourceful and have the know-how to circumvent very restrictive rules. How else can you explain having organizers with titles like "Chief Perpetrator", "Also Capable" and "Money Ho"?
