24-Hours of Lemons
December 30 - 31 2010.

Race starts at midnight on Thursday, December 30
Ends at midnight on Friday, December 31.
People's curse at noon on Friday!

Endurance racing for $500 cars. It's not just an oxymoron; it's a breeding ground for morons. It's where Pintos and Maserati's battle to a lap a Le Car. It's where laughing first-timers dice with Nomex-soiling pros.

THE CARS
Lights: This is a night race on an unlit track. Each team must provide its own illumination. While good-quality, properly aimed OE headlight systems are generally up to this task, aftermarket driving and/or foglights are also legal. DON'T OVERTHINK IT: A small number of high-quality, properly mounted, correctly aimed headlights or driving lights is much more effective than a large number of crappy add-ons, or overpowered projector lights, or fancy-pants spotlights.

• During daylight hours, forward lights may be removed if desired.

• Lights, mounts, and associated switches and wires are considered safety items and do NOT count toward the $500 build total.

• From dusk to dawn, all cars must have at least two working headlights, one working taillight, and one working brake light. Multi-filament combination tail/brake lights are acceptable.

• The center of all lights must be no higher than 6 inches above the car's hoodline; roof-mounted lights are not allowed..

• There is no limit on the total number of lights. However, lights must not be unduly dazzling or distracting to others.

• All lights must be properly aimed. Cars with mis-aimed lights may be black-flagged at any time. For good aiming advice, check out this site:

• Teams whose lights are deemed overly dazzling, insufficiently bright, badly aimed, or problematic in any other way may be black-flagged at any time.

• All lights must be present and working during tech inspection.

Side and Rear Glass: no restrictions

Noise Limit: 92dB @ 50 feet

PITS & PADDOCK
Overnight Camping: Camping in Paddock OK. Since you've got to be at the damn track all night anyway, there's no charge for camping at this one.

Vehicle Restrictions: Vehicles (including ATVs, motorized barstools and the like) must be operated by a street-licensed driver.

Pit Assignments: First come, first serve.

Barbecues NOT Allowed: PBIR doesn't allow grills in the paddock, however the concession stand will be grilling and will be open during the entire race.

Running Water: There is water on site for hand washing / filling radiators -but don't drink it.

Bathrooms: Permanent bathrooms are scheduled for construction this summer, so barring disaster they'll be in place. If not, port-o-fun times for everyone.

Electrical Hookups: There are a limited number of electrical hookups at $55 per day. Call Arlene Lourie at [masked] to reserve.

Pit Hours: Just be polite to the neighbors.

Fuel Sold On-Site: There will be a VP fuels truck on site.

Dead Cars: Be prepared to bring them home, PBIR wants nothing to do with them.
