you got to spin to know your limits. it's practically mandatory.

@@bladerunner6282 i remember the first time i spun out lol i only became a better driver after that experience no doubt.

best way to learn is through experience...

He isn’t wrong

This is a huge compliment. Very glad you enjoyed!

@@EverydayDriver You guys rock! Just serious enough for a lil competition but knowing that its lemons. I had my 1st track day a yr ago. Man I need a 2nd job to afford my habit know!

Exactly Came to say this

@@Jesusprayerwarriorbw im sorry i have to do this . Now not know.

lemons technically also has that rule

@@pbgd3 How is that actually possible? Working safety equipment alone costs more. Rollcage alone is at least twice that.

@@SparrowNoblePoland ya lemons racing is a 500$ car but unlimited for safety brakes cages suppression seat harness etc. The 500 rule exists only as a threat and a bludgeon for cheaters not as something to commonly utilize.

X-90 cheating is a huge part of lemons

I know someone personally that bought a 944 for $500, however it was in a field with the sunroof missing and only two rims. absolute hunk of shit. that being said I've seen tons of 944s go for super cheap. i think its because in my part of the us there are no vehicle inspections, so cars go to shit faster and they dont need much to get back on the road.

You can spend more on the car than $500, but are subject to penalty laps... unless you can successfully bribe your tech inspector.

Don’t forget the Corrado

There are two safety mechanisms built into the rolls about that. one if you showed up with your Ferrari and said you bought it for $500 and you had receipts to quote prove " that, you might be able to get in. however one the judges could force you to sell it to them for $500.to the other people there can all vote to have your car smashed with an excavator. And it put least puts a practical limit on the amount of hubris you're willing to endure. It's kind of like N class citizen rally in the Nordic countries in that respect. but I have seen nice cars but people just wanted to go away and they would give it to you if you would just haul it off because it needed something like a new starter and a dead battery and the seats were ratty. So it is possible actually to get a performance car that would run but getting it road legal might be inordinately expensive tail lights for older cars can be stupid for example. So you could probably get a beater old Corvette with rotten body panels and trashed interior if you looked around for $500. Then donor swap an LS motor from something else that is ready and cheap...

I don't know when these run, but good luck!

It might not be leaking but just had major malfunction.

Your best buy gonna be 156 with 2,4JTD 1,9JTD or less reliable but sporty 2,0 TS. You can get one for € 1200 place I live and sell its nice seats or LPG system.

Glad you enjoyed it - thank you for watching!

Its still a pricey hobby.

Dino's Shed if yer in Oklahoma I could use some wrenching

And we raced a Milano for many years in Lemons. My team won overall in Connecticut as well as numerous 2nds, 3rds, 4th's, 5ths overall!

@@kevinredden7833 For some unknown reason Alfa Romeos in LeMons DOMINATE!!!!! Well, until they have so many racing miles that the unibody starts falling apart and has to be welded back together.

As long as then are greater than 180 treadwear

Can you install a camera on your car and stream the race? I would like to watch it

Sounds awesome dude! I'm building a 56 Bel Air. I plan on racing in South Carolina.

@@martinkurdi436 If I can get through this coronavirus silliness and see if it will affect the racing schedule this summer in New England then I most definitely will. If I am unable to prepare the General Sven to compete I will attend both local races and post videos. It will be a test of my long term goal of producing my own content. I have then Lemons videos in a separate collection and will contact you or even better I'll sub you. 🤟

@@VinnyMartello That's *awesome!* I don't think I've ever seen a car of that vintage compete. I'm in Massachusetts and there are two races scheduled close by, one in Connecticut and one in New Hampshire. I'll post videos from both races if I can't get my car prepared in time. Summer 2021 would be more realistic considering this coronavirus vacation going on. I'll sub you if you plan posting your build.

I waste too much time and energy on current politics these days especially on KZfaq. My opinions won't change a damn thing. What I have discovered is that many of the people I argue with about politics share the same things as I do like gearhead stuff. The fun part of racing on a budget and having a sense of humor, just like the Lemonheads. Just wanted to get that off my mind. I give you safe passage through the Wasteland. 🤟

Tormod Skoog I sold mine 3 years ago and still regret it

The "diaper special" porshe!

Find a race here that has a car for rent and come on over

Ok.. .Love you guys but not for nothing you broke the car!!!!

Watch the race wrapups on the 24hr of Lemons channel. They will explain how it happens.

@@tormodskoog9088 "500$ my ass!!!" *robot arms*

One in which you give the judges a really sweet bribe!

Lemons is a joke, but Chump isn't? In the east, chump is a f'ing demolition derby. Chump's valuation system is just as much a sham. PUY isn't "lemons politics"; flagging is done by the corner workers -- and they're hired by the track. Yes, they can get it wrong sometimes (wrong car number, etc.) If you're getting flagged multiple times, it's probably your fault. ["It's you, home slice!"] Yes, the "$500 car" thing is not as well enforced as some would like. (it's called "BS" judging for a reason.) The spirit of the series is the Class C cars. Having raced "C" for several years now, that's where you want to be -- you're just happy the car hasn't killed anyone, and maybe there's one or two other cars as hopeless to chase around.

TurgBurglar Yea that marshal was a chump

I also don't really get it, he spun yes but I doubt he thought "hm. I wanna spin now", so is there something I don't get or is the black flag really necessary?

Honestly, I have a rule with my team. Any paint trading, you go to the penalty box and mandatory driver change. I don't care who is at fault.

​@@kevintemmer3893 Honestly, good for you. Any person you convince to be on the team, more power to them. I don't care, ya still sound like a bit of an arse

LeMons actually limits us to water only. There was coolant residue that wasn't fully flushed out of the engine.

Yep, between 3000-5000 to build a car. As low as 2000$ if you can bend tubing and weld the cage in yourself.

Thre short rule clarifications: Car without safety (lots of stuff) is valued as $500. Cars get a residual value if requested after each race for allowing improvements or repairs. Everyone races (that passes tech)...bring a car they think is more than $500, you get penalty laps. Finallly (clarification 3.5) Bring the right car...judges don't care but it better be HILARIOUS!.

Michael got it about right. There's no spending limit on safety equipment since it's all required. Brakes and tires are a free for all too. The loophole with the value of the car is you can buy a car for let's say $2k but if you're able to sell a lot of the parts off it when you strip it, the money you make back comes off of your purchase price.

@@phattyhales Don't forget this little tidbit. 1.4: Claiming Race: At the end of the competition, the Organizers-and nobody else, you lazy, better-car-wantin’ bastids-may elect to purchase any vehicle from its owner(s) for $500. In 80 races and counting, we’ve claimed cars precisely twice. Don’t piss us off so much that we raise that to three.

@@michaelkrenzer3296 can confirm the lada niva was budget exempt since nobody can win in a 50hp lada.

$500 MY ASS!

Properly equipped Lemons cars can run for years on end in the series, but perhaps not if you gambler it...
