Laid Back Racing, Insane Track

Welcome back to Everyone Racers — where low-dollar racing meets high chaos.

In this Chris Craft 431 episode, Chris suggests that people ride the corn, Mental appreciates paint huffers, Chrissy supports a specific Waymo use, Tim pimps welders, and Neal brings the funk.  

Really, we dive deep into the world of 24 Hours of Lemons racing, kicking things off with a full recap of the first-ever Lemons race at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. From wild mechanical failures and last-minute engine swaps to unforgettable team themes and penalty box antics, this race delivered everything we love about amateur endurance racing.

Then we shift gears to a full preview of this weekend’s Lemons race at Pacific Raceways in Kent, Washington  — one of the most underrated and technical tracks in the Pacific Northwest.
