Schedule & Info

Schedule & Info

IMPORTANT: DUE TO COVID, SPECTATORS ARE NOT ALLOWED AT THIS RACE! ONLY PRE-REGISTERED DRIVERS & CREW CAN ATTEND--FOR MORE ON COVID CHANGES, GO HERE: https://24hoursoflemons.com/covid/

REGISTRATION
During Covid, walk-up spectators, late registration, and late substitutions are not permitted. Everyone through the gate--drivers, crew, family, friends, kids, whatever--must be pre-registered as drivers or crew before the online reg database closes (10 days before the race). Pre-registered crew members are $75; we realize that's steep for kids, but this helps us limit bodies onsite to essential team members and streamline the check-in process. We hope to be back to normal soon!

BUTTONWILLOW GATE FEE
Buttonwillow is separately charging $10 to everyone through the gate, even though you're preregistered as a Lemons participant. That's their deal, sorry.

•Complete your tech sheet BEFORE coming to BS/Car Tech. Place the completed Tech Sheet in the passenger footwell before getting in line.

•After BS, follow the line to Car Tech.
•After the brake-light and kill-switch test, exit the car, leaving the Tech Sheet behind.
•When finished, we'll drop a packet including your Tech OK sticker, rental transponder, and other crap onto the driver's seat. That's it--you're finished!
•The last hour of tech is for missed slots and re-techs. 

GEAR TECH
