Sparkleturd Racing Forms

Early in 2018, a group of friends and acquaintances decided it would be a "good' idea to form a "24 Hours of Lemons" team. Sparkleturd Racing was born.

A vehicle was quickly procured that met the $500 requirement, with a little room to spare. Luckily the things needing fixing are cheap, and the remainder are covered under the safety exclusions.



This website will cover the journey to get on track with the 24 Hours of Lemons.
