Not exactly, but close....



<Butthead Voice> this is possibly the coolest thing I have ever seen </Butthead Voice>




I know many have wondered about all the $$$$ those LeMons organizers were making, and how long it would be before someone else decided to give it a try- now we know.


FYI- looks like the Rock race is gonna be a true 24 hour race- WOOHOO!!

That one's gonna be worth watching. Cause the walls at the Rock are going to get a workout with a field full of novice drivers. Hope liability and health insurance is required.

Rockingham as a venue...hmmm, I'm not sure, but I could probably be talked into it.

BTW, rules 5.4 and 10.2 are interesting.

Use of those doesn't seem too likely IMO. In order for you to buy them for use, someone else would have to fill them. I don't think people will be lining up for that worker task.

It could be a nice way to empty the porta-johns :shock:

I do think it's interesting to see them try to pull off a 24 hour event. - AB

Rockingham? isn't that a small bowl of concrete walls surrounded by a thousand tons of concrete?

i could easily be talked into entering the second go round of that particular race. :roll:

Sounds interesting... I am game to run this event too. Where did you find the full set of rules (10.2??) I looked over the link and found the condensed version link but that is all.

A full 24 hours at the Rock would really test these crappy cars. At least those BIG concrete walls will keep you out of the pine trees....
