Let me preface this by saying that the race isn&#8217;t a high profile event with a huge budget.  Actually, the car CANNOT cost more than $500 (barring safety equipment including wheels, tires and brakes).  The team estimates each person will be out roughly $750, including car costs, entrance fees, personal equipment such as a helmet and race suit, and travel expenses.   Overall, this &#8220;$500&#8221; race will end up costing close to $5,000 but when it comes to racing, that&#8217;s CHEAP.<\/p>\n<p>The event is the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.24hoursoflemons.com\/\">24 Hours of LeMons<\/a> and we will be racing a Festiva that already has two years of dirt track experience under it&#8217;s timing belt.  One of the teammates is a Festiva aficionado and says the car is rock solid so unless we get into a serious accident, the car should be solid for the full race.  I haven&#8217;t seen the car yet, but I&#8217;m excited.  We have some prep work remaining, none of us have figured out travel plans and only a couple actually know how to race.  We&#8217;re going to do our best and I&#8217;ll make sure to take a few thousand pictures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve never set tire on a racetrack and I&#8217;ve never worked on a car beyond installing a horn and changing oil but by golly, I&#8217;m on a team set to join a 24 hour endurance race!
