Did my first lemons race in 2023, it was amazing.

Some great things about lemons:

- you need a team, so instead of having to figure out all the stuff yourself (the race car, getting the car to the track, etc.) you'll have motivated people to help you

- because the goal is to still be running at the end of the 2nd day, drivers mostly look out for one another on track

- other teams are super helpful to newbs. Our neighbor in the pits welded up a spot on our cage, we ended up borrowing tools and safety equipment from 3-4 different teams, and we got lots of quality advice

- the rules and culture of the series help keep costs down as much as seems possible
