FAQs

What kind of experience do I need?

1

Experience requirements are intentionally flexible to keep the barrier to entry low while still matching drivers to the right events. For 24 Hours of Lemons, prior racing experience is typically minimal—if you’re comfortable behind the wheel, can follow flags, and listen to coaching, you can jump in and have a great time. For ChampCar, it depends on the event: some races require previous wheel-to-wheel racing experience due to higher speeds and competition levels, while others are more accessible but we do recommend (but don’t strictly require) prior track time such as HPDE. If you’re new, we’ll help guide you toward the right event for your skill level so you can build confidence safely and enjoy the full experience.

How do I get started?

Step 1: Pick your race and reach out early via email. Step 2: We’ll confirm seat availability, pricing, driver requirements, and what experience level fits the event. Step 3: You’ll register with the series, get the required safety gear, sign waiver and complete any licensing or membership steps for 24 Hours of Lemons or ChampCar (see their website). Step 4: Show up ready to drive, with all your required gear—we provide the car, crew support, pit logistics, basic race preparation, and the low-pressure team environment. Step 5: At the track, we’ll walk you through the car, driver changes, radio procedures, pit stops, flags, and race-day flow. Step 6: Strap in, stay safe, have fun, and enjoy real wheel-to-wheel endurance racing without having to own, prep, transport, or maintain the race car yourself.

Typical Personal Gear consist of: Helmet:

  • Head & Neck Restraint: Required (HANS or similar)

  • In-Date Snell Helmet (usually less than 10 years old)

  • Fire Suit: SFI 3.2A/5 minimum (one-piece or two-piece) / 3.2A/1 with Underwear

  • Fire-Resistant Underwear: Often required or strongly recommended (top, bottom, socks, balaclava)

  • Gloves: Fire-resistant (SFI rated)

  • Shoes: Fire-resistant racing shoes

  • Arm Restraints: Required if using window nets (most cars do)

  • Driver Gear Condition: Must be in good shape—no holes, oil saturation, etc.

What makes you different?

What sets us apart is simple: we keep it fun, low-pressure, and real. We’ve been doing endurance racing for over 10 years, and we started as a tight-knit group of friends where the experience mattered just as much as the lap times—sometimes more. That mindset still defines us today. We’re here for the camaraderie, the stories, and the thrill of wheel-to-wheel racing without the stress and ego that can come with more competitive teams. If you’re chasing podiums at all costs, we’re probably not your crew—and that’s okay. But if you want a welcoming, laid-back environment where you can race hard, laugh harder, and be part of a team that actually tries to enjoy the whole weekend, you’ll fit right in.

How do you handle Arrive and Drive, Drivers that cause damage to the car or incur other damages.

When it comes to damage, we keep things straightforward and fair. Arrive-and-drive means you get to enjoy the car without the burden of ownership—but if a driver causes damage due to an incident or mistake of their fault, they are responsible for covering the cost of repairs. The goal isn’t to be punitive, it’s simply to return the car to the condition it was in prior to the incident so the team can keep racing. The good news is these are grassroots endurance cars, so repair costs are typically far more reasonable than professional race programs. We’re all here to have fun and race hard, but with that comes shared responsibility to take care of the equipment and each other.
