Hammer's Heroes...an interstate debacle? Perhaps!


We've had some success so far, running two 24 Hours Of Lemons events at South Carolina's Carolina Motorsports Park. Then, today I got the 2010 schedule. THREE times next year at CMP, but then I saw it...

October 9th & 10th, 2010 the Lemons comes to Gingerman Raceway in South Haven, MI...MY HOME TRACK!

It would be a fair amount of work to make it happen, but towing back "home" to race with some friends there could be an amazingly fun experience! It wouldn't be cheap. It would be a real pain in the arse. But, damn...what a great adventure!

Keep your fingers crossed & perhaps it'll happen!
