This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Sorry, 24 hours of lemons and the source of the LeMons puns, is a bunch of car folk truly interested in cars we can actually drive, race, rally, wrench. And make fun of themselves as much as the snobby stuff.
Everything kinda looks like a joke but 24 hour endurance racing is hard!
The Rally (different from the races) and both fun and hard. Easy or as hard as you like.
I've done both. Great people too. Not a box of dicks either, more women there then most any car shit I've done. Queer friendly as car stuff gets too.
At the track crews are often mutually supportive. Yeah it's great.
Cars are democratic -+ we can all own one. There's amazing engineering in high end cars. Duh. Lovely to look at. Get arrested when you swipe parts from! Lol jk.
But making a 5 or 25 year old car do well on a track is loads of fun!
That sounds pretty amazing. Is it an expensive thing to get into?
Sort of. You really need a team, 3 or 5 people. Takes a year to get a car and make it ready. Needs a roll cage. Someone needs to weld or be rich, lol. Tools, fuel. Lodging and transport. 5 grand last time we budgeted but we only raced once, so discount my advice that much.
But go on their forum, lurk, and consider volunteering on a team! That would be the best way.
Racing meaning the whole schtick, prep, build, transport, driving! pits, it's unbelievable fun. Do it!
I'm going to at least go to a track nearby and watch people do this and maybe talk to them and see if anything clicks for me.
Make sure you check out LeMons racing, which is pretty different from others.
