With the 24 Hours of LeMons, anything goes. Well, anything goes as long as your budget doesn’t exceed 500 bucks. And even then, a collection of fine spirits – or a cool theme to one’s build – can make the judges look the other way. That's our kind of race series. The guys from Black Iron Racing swing by the Garage to show how their “totally legit” E36 qualifies for this prestigious race – and then they beat on the car in our Yard. Camper attached and all.
