Yeah a buddy of mine is trying to talk me into "donating" my VW Scirocco for that. 

Looks like a fun time, but not worth giving my DD up for :p

That's a hell of a good time.  I think all my cars from high school would have qualified.  My first bird only cost me 300, followed by several cars thereafter.

I've mentioned this race a few times in passing, but never gave it its own thread.  I've loved the 24 Hours of Lemons ever since I first saw it on Jalopnik.  Face it, any race with the prize paid completely in nickles is cool.
