Did this race 3 times so far www.24hoursoflemons.com

You get a $500 car cage and race with 90 other rookies around 1.1 mile road course
Also your car and team must have a theme.So mine was Pit Crew revenge from years of chasing and waiting it was time for me to go racing .

Also if you get black flagged there is an array of abuse to when you spin the a wheel of misfortune. few examples

Barnyard : sheetmetal animals welded on your roof by a welding fairie wings and all
bucket of eggs : you have to get out of car and screw a bucket on your roof
above your head , then get back in car and they drill holes and
5 dozen eggs
trailing wheels
Radiator spikes : flat plate welded or ziptied to front of your car with spikes pointed
towards radiator
Smelly Cheese : you have to where a smelly cheese necklace and 1/2# on your
exhaust
Shocking collar : dog shocking collar with a cockring if you are real bad

We got a "al gore pollution violation " my buddy had to get out of car put on a TAI DYE shirt and gardening hat dig a hole and plant a tree whilee having tofu thrown at him

THere is also a people's curse where the favored ******* car gets destroyed by and excavator

Oh Yea what you win if you win the race is $1500 in nickles that 312#
or you can win $1000 in nickles for peoples choice for coolest story or theme

this isn't off road but it was 14 hours of racing in california and backeast went a true 24 hours

What is OTL ?

"Over the line". Its a softball based sporting event where people just get crazy and have to have themes for thier teams - you kinda have to see it to understand it haha.
