As the economy continues to take kidney punches, more and more once-exclusive tracks have decided that it's OK to allow the caddies into the pool, and thus it has come to pass that Nelsen Ledges in Ohio, Buttonwillow Raceway Park in Southern California, and Reno-Fernley Raceway in Nevada will be holding 24 Hours Of LeMons races in 2009! Jump away for the full schedule.
These are some great tracks; the Bay Area contingent is already foaming at the mouth just thinking about that Fernley course. And hey, didja notice that the Buttonwillow race is going head-to-head with the Monterey Historics? You know where I'm gonna be! Get your most gullible friends and a piece-o-crap car together, head over to the application page, and join the racing chaos fun!
