24 Hours of LeMons in Texas!

[Wirtz]

Saw a post on the Texas AI / CMC site that the 24 Hours of LeMons will have a round at MSR-H. If your not aware of the race, well, search the net a bit and you'll get it.

The short summary: $500 or less race (?) cars for 24 hours.

This could be o so much fun! I'm trying to get an Austin effort together from the AI and CMC group.

oh snap... mccall duck and I already have some wicked cool LeMons entry ideas:

• mid 80's BMW E30 inline 6
• 100hp of NAWS (hidden)... "passing assistance"
• a freakin shark with a freakin LASER BEAM strapped to the roof
• huge steel pipe bumpers
• MASSIVE rear wing, made of plywood...On the last lap the wing is set aflame
• the loudest air horns ever put on an automobile
• deployable spike strips

ok, if you are thinking about cheating a bringing a more expensive than $500 car, be warned. They self-police pretty harshly!

4.4: BSF Factor: To prevent cheating, all cars will be inspected by a panel appointed by the organizers. At that time, all teams will be given an opportunity to describe the car's purchase and prep. If the panel believes the limit set out in Rule 4.1 has been exceeded, it will assign a Bullshit Factor (BSF) equal to one BSF per ten dollars above the limit. The entry will be docked one lap for each BSF assigned. (Ten dollars = one BSF = one lap.) Entrants are encouraged to bring all supporting evidence and make up plausible-sounding stories in advance.
4.4.1: Appeal of BSF Panel Decisions: Get real. There's no appealing this decision. You're boned.

2.2: Driver Eligibility: All drivers must have a valid US or International driver's license and a valid competition license (club memberships, rally licenses, and instructional licenses are not accepted). The ONLY acceptable competition licenses are: AMP, SCCA, FIA, NASA, NASCAR, CSRG, ARCA, WestCar, SRL, Legends/600, USAC, CASA, BCRA, BBORR, NCMA, MMRA, Barber Comp, CRA, ICSCC, HMSA, HSR, and SVRA. If you don't have one of these, you'll need to buy a provisional license from the track; these cost $50 and are sold in the pits on Saturday morning before the race.

I thought it was funny that they outline all the licenses then say, "or you can pay $50". haha
