Lemons

No. You're going to spend more than that putting in the cage and safety equipment. There's a lot of stuff you can do to the car that's exempt from your $500 (like safety stuff) and also bribing the judges at inspection is encouraged.

When I ran we brought bottles of booze for the judges.

If the judges think your car is too expensive or nice or fast they will penalize you by moving you to a faster class or adding penalty laps (you start the race on lap -30, example)

Fun as fuck but not something to take seriously in the competitive sense, it's all bullshit. WRL is a much better cheap-ish endurance series for relative amateurs.

One time I found a real shitbox Corolla FX (pic related) on CL for precisely 500 bucks. I was so fucking tempted to buy it, give it the tofu meme machine paintjob, and enter it in Le Mons, but it just seems so much like a "haha this is just for laughs your first place prize is literally less than what you paid to enter".

It's a real wheel to wheel racing series that will accept first timers with no experience or licenses so it's pretty unique in that regard. WRL is cracking down on compete novices this season.

LeMons is a ton of fun win or lose but do what I did and just buy a drive with a team.
