For Participants

(Assuming your car makes it.)

Judges / Judging

Guaranteed to be unprofessional, inattentive, capricious, and subject to bribery. (Liquor and food seem to be favorites.) Satisfactory bribes will earn the “Ribbon of Dishonor,” to be placed on the car’s windshield. Don’t like their decisions? Check your ticket–you’re at the wrong car show.

This year the Concours d’Lemons has suckered several automotive world luminaries into being Guest Judges. They risk their reputation, you get to hobnob with bigwigs, everyone has a good time.

Road America: Lemons gives race in Wisconsin for the holidays

Santa Cruz–Just in time for the holidays, we’re happy to announce the 24 Hours of Lemons is going back to Road America! Thanks to an opening in the schedule, we are moving the Oct 7-8, 2023, race originally scheduled for Gingerman over to Elkhart Lake. I mean, when you have the opportunity to combine a historic four-mile racetrack with historic bratwurst (and possibly historic indigestion), you take it.

The event dates and deadlines all remain the same—if you’re already signed up for Gingerman in October ’23, your entry will automatically be updated to Road America. And if you have your heart set on Gingerman, we’ll still be there in June. We’ll have more details on it soon, but you can sign up for The Sausage Fest race at Road America right here.

 

Endurance Racing
for $500 Cars. Racing for real people.

New Racers

All it takes is a cheap car, cool friends and one weekend.

 

Returning Racers

Oh, hell. You know what to do.
(Or not. Forgot password?)

Pick A Race

And sign up, dammit.

 

Your (Miserable) Racecar

It ain't hard: Buy a hooptie then race that mofo. Spend whatever you need to on safety, and don't spend over $500 on speed or the judges might ding you some laps. From turnkey builds to hopeless disasters, it's out there just begging to race.
