The schedule for the 2010 Season of the "24 Hours of Lemons" was announced by the promoters this week. Of note is the addition of one more race in California to bring it to a total of 3 races – Infineon Raceway (Sonoma), Buttonwillow Raceway and Thunderhill Raceway. The promoters have also added two “Concourse D’ Lemons” where many of the rolling crapolas on wheels will be displayed. In all, the calendar has been expanded to include 20 races and 3 concourse events.
Major financial constraints and unexpected personal challenges have made this year’s goals unattainable. I am, as of this post, homeless. The next and the last California event for this season will be held on the 21st and 22nd of November at the Thunderhill Raceway in Northern California. Based on commitments and projections, it does not appear that we will be able to line up as a starter there this year. However, next year should prove to be a better environment for organizing and developing a race team. Just because the car is worth $500 does not mean it’s inexpensive. When you get a bunch of Yahoos and throw in speed, dangerous machinery and race them against competitors with about the same dangerous stuff, you know it has the potential to get expensive real quick. So, we’ve decided it will be better if we were to wait and get everything together before we campaign in the Lemons.
