The payouts are all in bags of nickels, $500 for People's Choice, $1000 for overall win.

At the 12 hour mark they announce the winner of People's Choice and "Peoples Curse" awards voited on by the crowd. The Peoples Choice winner gets the $500 in nickels, and the Peoples Curse winner (loser?) get their car destroyed on the spot.

James - with the Lemon Lappers here. I should have a write up ready tomorrow. Finally catching up from lack of sleep. I'll post a link as soon as it's done. In summary the race was crazy as hell. It's increadible that we made it through the race with all of the carnage happening every other turn. We went into it with one loafty goal.....and some how pulled it off! We did as much research, planning, and prep as one's marriage will allow. The neon is the car to have for this event for many reasons.

more to come soon...

If you ever needed to see a reason why Neons are way cool, that should do it.

My local club is putting together a car for this

what kind of car?

We have a few in mind right now.
It more than likely won't be a neon though.

Not my choice.
I did feel compelled to mention who won it last year though
