Anybody interested in getting a team together? They usually have 1 or 2 events that are close by every year… cost of entry is cheap, and the event is pretty fun… I am looking for drivers/crew members… also suggestions on a car… [http://www.24hoursoflemons.com](http://www.24hoursoflemons.com) Read the rules if you dont know what this is all about [http://www.24hoursoflemons.com/rules/](http://www.24hoursoflemons.com/rules/) ---

Any old american boat that can take a beating if you tend to be agressive. Really anything that is simple/reliable. Last year I believe some old 70s Corolla was doing pretty well until it seized the rear axle. So anything can work really, so long as it durable and you stay out of accidents. > [@Joe](#): > > Fuzzy’s SHO would have been sweet for this. Lol, no way it would have made it 30 minutes in. Besides that’s long gone, and I’ll never own another one. ---

I love it it really isnt as far as i can tell, most people are pretty honest about it… the key to a good car is selling off parts form the car your not gonna use… so get a civic hatch with a nice interior and sell it off… Anybody seriously interested in doing this, should send me a PM Cost is going to be aprox 2-300 dolallars per person, to split the cost of the car/entry fees/ misc parts… at the end of the event, if we decide not to do it again, the car can be sold to any member for the original 500 dollar invetstment, or sold to the public and the proceeds split up between the team member drivers… ---
