A Taste of Chaos: Catching the Final Day of the 24 Hours of Lemons

We made it out for the final day of the 24 Hours of Lemons and left with only one real regret — not showing up sooner. The energy, creativity, and pure absurdity on display made it clear why this event has become a cult favorite among racers and fans alike. From duct-taped sedans dressed as sharks to rolling tributes to movie cars, every lap felt like a mix of grassroots racing and Halloween on wheels.

Even in its final hours, the paddock was alive with activity. Teams were still wrenching, engines were still screaming, and the track never went quiet. What stood out most wasn’t just the cars — it was the community. People were friendly, funny, and deeply invested in the madness. The spirit of Lemons is one-of-a-kind: low-budget builds, high-effort fun, and zero ego.

Next year, we won’t just catch the tail end. We’ll be there from the first green flag, soaking in every glorious, oil-soaked minute of it.
