This was the first shakedown day back in 2014 for the lightly used MRsakibomb (Kawasaki powered by previous owner). We were embarrassed by all the high dollar Nissan GTRs and Porsches at this event but still impressed with the potential of the car. @ Auto Club Speedway

Long live Balto! Here's a video of us chasing it from Sonoma a few years back too... https://youtu.be/JOSSTLVsnEY

Watch This Profile Of The Snowmobile-Powered Miata That Races Lemons - Roadkill Ever seen a pull-start Mazda Miata? Well, there's at least one and it runs the 24 Hours of Lemons TrackTuned made a great video about it.

Today's fun fact. Going back all the way to 2011, the past 7 lemons Thunderhill races have had only two teams produce overall winners.

24 Hours of LeMons: ‘Arse-Freeze-Apalooza’ preview at Sonoma Raceway | Hooniverse California's Sonoma region is renowned for its micro-climate producing some remarkable grapes for wine production and the region thereby being known as a Classy Place.
