Barbie? BMW? Who? Wha? What the hell are you guys on?
In the imortal words of Inigo Montoya
"Let me explain... No, there is too much. Let me sum-up"
- This is a 24 Hours of Lemons racing team.
- We're made up of St. Louis BMW Club Members and a few others
- We're building up a rusted-out 1983 BMW 635csi Euro to go full tilt against other scrap heaps for 24 continuous hours of road racing.
- The team name and theme were thought up by a team member while standing in front of a urinal
- We'll be racing at Nelsons Ledges in Ohio on October 3rd and 4th. Please feel free to join us!
