It’s high noon on the West Coast and we’ve arrived at the Altamont Motorsports Park to cover the 2nd annual 24 Hours of LeMons – two days of vehicular madness perpetrated by some of the most asinine automotive atrocities this side of the Mississippi. We’re here to live-blog the even throughout the day and into the night, continuing our coverage tomorrow as the race unfolds.
The race starts at approximately 2:30 PM PST today, and we’ll have a separate post that will have continuous updates as the day progresses. Bookmark that page when it goes live and begin hitting refresh – the insanity will be covered in all its gruesome detail.
Tomorrow, we’ll be arriving at around 8 AM to cover the “People’s Choice/People’s Curse” ceremony, and from there the race will continue at 9:00 AM PST.
The full schedule is available after the jump, and you can check out the 24 Hours of LeMons site here.
