Event Overview
The 24 Hours of Lemons Sonoma Race Weekend is a hilarious, grueling testament to grassroots automotive ingenuity. Teams compete using mass-produced, four-wheeled vehicles bought and prepped for under $500(excluding mandatory safety equipment). Rather than a straight 24-hour block, the event spans two consecutive days of high-octane track sessions mixed with trackside wrenching and bizarre penalties. And bring your jacket, this year, we are nicknaming it “Arse-Freeze-Apalooza!
