[QUOTE="InDaShop, post: 214746, member: 1295"] Myself and a group of my buddies (all offroad guys) here in Houston got together and built a LeMons car for this 24 hour of Lemons racing. None of us have ever road raced, but the price was right and there are events all year long and three that are close to us. We did not make all that wise of a descion in vehicles. 1997 Jeep Cherokee. We converted it to 2wd lowered it and went racing. Aerodynamics of a barndoor , handles like a brick on wheels, but makes up for everything with low down out of the hole 4.0l torque. We realized even as bad as everyone thinks it is, its one of the faster cars out there it just has to work hard on the ragged edge to keep pace with the BMW's and Benz's. About a month ago we did our first race at Texas World Speedway near College Station, Texas. The Format was 7.5hrs on Saturday, and 7 hours on Sunday. We raced the whole time, had zero mechanical issues (well swapped the powersteering pump overnight just to be safe). We put 809miles on between the Green & the Checker, 9 spin outs, and 5 blackflags. I'm not 100% sure of where that put us in the standings but we took home the covented Organizers Choice award. I'll say I didnt have high expectations for LeMons, it just didnt really interest me but since my friends were in, I just went along. Damn I am glad I did. I cant begin to tell you guys how much fun this was. It was full size go-karts and since it wasnt like its your daily driver you really didnt care. Here's some vid editted together of some of the action. BTW I'm the idiot who loops it on pitroad before the race even starts, I claim fresh cold wet tires and I'm sticking to it, or it was on purpose you pick !
