What is 24 Hours of Lemons

24 Hours of Lemons is a series of endurance races for amateur car racing enthusiasts.  The name is derived from a light hearted play on the famous professional race "24 hours of Le Mans" twisting the last word into 'Lemons'; indicating that the car used in the race should be of very low value.  The Lemons races are legitimate paved-road racing experiences with a grass-roots feel and a lot of humor mixed in as racing teams often adopt amusing themes.
