The 24 Hours Of LeMons: Racing and building junk cars

I want to go to one of these 24 Hours Of LeMons races. Essentially, the race is made up of teams of people who take junkyard cars (sometimes just the bodies) and fabricate their own monster vehicle out of it. They aren't polished, they don't run particularly well, and they don't go fast. But as sheer entertainment and passion, they meet the criteria. Looks like a fun event to be a part of both as a participant and as a spectator.
