car:$500
bribes and "donations": $4000
I ran with a friend of mine that did it one year. I spent more than $500 on a roll cage and a racing suit LOL
@@richdiscoveries Not that bad as far as roillcages go. You can easily spend 4-5k on a proper custom cage done by a professional
RICH DISCOVERIES
Isn’t safety equipment exempt from the budget requirements at lemons races?
@@user-xg8yy7yl1d Yee because the cars have to be track safe, gotta keep them lemons safe
Who knew racing cheap cars could be so corrupt lol
"It's not a bug, it's a feature."
yea i know that pissed me off aswell...
shouldnt even be allowed to be called racing..
having to bribe? really what is this? china?
@@swedeonhisway8608 Its all for fun. Class A winners get paid less than class C. They also pay them in nickels. You ever seen 1500 of nickels. lol That shit weighs like 35 lbs. Or sometimes they write checks on rocks or toilet seats. Plus, the cars they race are complete fucking shitboxes that have no business being on a track. This isnt Le Mans, lol.
@@swedeonhisway8608 Its a running gag. Judges are bribed by anything cool or cute, foods and stuff like that. not necessary money cause that won't be funny now isn't? .
I guess this is how fifa works
“Objects in the mirror are losing” 😂
Yeah I lost it when I saw that, too. Do want.
Objects in the mirror are lapping you.
So wait... there's a mustang over the "Ferari" and the spelling is the thing that set her off? :D
she said it was spelled wrong. She never mentioned the mustang.
To be honest, I didn't notice the mustang until about halfway through the video.
mate did you read the comment?
sorry, read that comment a little too literally.
@@JohnDoe-le7ml the mustang logo is why I clicked lolt
Haha
When life gives you lemons, go racing.
Building a lemons car is certainly on my bucket list. I love this livery!
Can I join?
Mine too, (actually I don't want to BUILD it, i just want pay for it and then to DRIVE it), though i've heard that Chump Car (now Champ Car I think) has a similar low budget approach but the races are a little more "serious" with (maybe?) less cheating & bribing, ha ha.
I have a old running Miata that I bought of off CL for 100.00 about 3 months ago, let’s do this.
I'm in Atlanta, I'm a pretty solid driver with lots of karting experience and tend to be top in class in karting and have been through all the skip barber schools and many track days, i've never had an off or spin in full size cars (knock on wood). Totally up for a Lemons / Chump Car team but i don't have the time to wrench but i do have some spare $ to make up for not being able to maintain the vehicle. And i have an excellent place for a small garage.
I heard there is a red GTI with race provenance for sale...
My neighbor does rally racing and there was a lemon event, he showed me the rules and the first rule said: "Don't be an ass, if someone is stuck help them out."
"Which I think stands for Barbara Streisand" Doug Tabbutt, 2018
I think we all secretly want to be race car drivers,lol.
H&P Customs secretly?
Lmfao "cause I don't need anyone to respect me ever"!!! Jesus I love this series!!! Look forward to watching these each day!!
EBay Freddy Mercury.
Lesson learned. Equip lemons car with laser jammers.
I'm dying
RandoCrypto lol
This channel is too addictive! Whats the story about? I dont care, lemme watch the video!
And of course, who doesnt wanna try out this event?
We need a VINwiki Racing Team for Lemons - Rob, Ed, Doug, and Randy
P WrightisRight yes
I’m so game for this
If rabit says he's good with it that means it's happening. Right?
P WrightisRight there would be no team. It would be Randy. He would win the LeMons in 12 hours.
Hoovie buys the car
Bringing a car door into a bar would be amusing no doubt!
The BS inspectors huh? Probably stands for Bologna sandwich. The mustard must be of adequate viscosity.
RandoCrypto probably
RandoCrypto pretty sure it’s bolognaise sauce
Ur full of bieber songs fool. Lol
Love days like today where I come home to a new Doug DeMuro vid, new Straight Pipes vid, and, of course, a new VINwiki vid.
you guys provide great content. i just put my phone on auto play and listen to your stories throughout work now, makes the day FLY
Runs with Scizors same here. Get 8 hours of great stories!
One of the things that he didnt mention is that after the race, you can get your cars value adjusted. Its much easier to kinda show up without A+ cost documentation once they realize that your car really IS a total pile of crap.
Every single one of those pictures looks like they're all having the time of their lives! Watching this made my day even better than it already was
Objects in the rear view mirror are losing. Classic.
therushden lol XD
that sounds hilarious how the lemons staff rolls, bribes humor and flattery, lol
It took me too long to figure out that "lemons" sounds like "le mans"
Want a VINwiki shirt or hoodie? www.bonfire.com/vinwiki/
I remember you guys! You were the "New clutch, just installed last night" guys!
Yep. And then the "new trans, just installed last night" guys. And then he "new Coil and ecu, just installed last night" guys. And then the "another trans, just installed last night" guys.
We were the uhh... Buttlords. Our only describing features are our dixieland horn on a 93 Civic hatch, and we flat tow it with a Pontiac G8.
Last time I was this early, Andy Frisella was still spinning in every corner.
The Vinwiki channel is awesome. I remember reading about the 24 hours of lemons in C&D when I was younger so it's cool to hear this story.
The coolest form of racing there is! Another amazing story.
I know its all for fun but i really hate that a team can get huge advantages in what's supposed to be a budget race by throwing money here and there.
"Just throw money at it" is the recipe for something that blows up within hours. We (Team Duff) used to do that -- 140whp Honda D16... it'll last 2-4 hours before you need another one. We stopped that shit years ago, to instead spend money on hookers and blow, err, RVs and beer. Just ask Team SOB how much of a winning combination a VW Golf/GTI is. (hint: they've finished _second_ more times than anyone in Lemons history. They've one twice in their new E30.)
Which is why we race Lemons and not Chump.
@@aliceshaw8265 Costs vary based car, prep level, and how much you wrench yourself. The car may be $500, but a race cage, suit, fire suppression system, tires, brakes, etc. will be be at least $4K. Add radios, fancy fuel jugs, hotel accommodations, and you could easily balloon to $10K. However the car, helmet, and suits should be a one time cost and last a few races. You can also sign up and join and existing team. Expect to pay $1K-$2K for a weekend.
The BS Judges keep things in check. You show up with a properly sorted and fast race car - you will get penalty laps. You shoehorn a BMW V10 into a Sentra they are just going to let you race because we all know that is going to blow up in 10 laps
The mustached wonder is back! The best Doug on UA-cam.
Gus Kipper what about Daddy Doug Demuro
Gus Kipper We have 2 great Dougs on youtube and both are great car guys.
Demuro is not that good
David Kalbo why do you say so?
DARKSTAR 7567 He's annoying as hell and disrespectful to alot of cars.
That honestly doesn't sound fun at all anymore. I've always wanted to do this because it sounded like fun real racing. Now it just sounds terrible.
WatchJRGo Whole lotta bullshit involved that's for sure.
Right?!
It's not. Lemons is a great time, even if your car does blow up in the first hour. The only people who don't have fun are the ones taking everything far too serious.
I've always wanted to do one of these as well, I think Chump Car racing is a bit less silly and more serious.
Why?
Always find myself rewatching old episodes of VINwiki on the weekends, just waiting for Monday’s new video aha... Doug’s epic face @3:10 priceless, lol
I got to ride in a very competitive Chump Car, man, it was fun!
Ahhhh Lemons. This should be good.
Another great story! I was interested right away when I saw the title lol!
The lemons races needs to he a TV show
"Objects in mirror ar losing" 😆
Sounds like everyone's drunk. Gonna add this to my to do list.
We had a rear beam break at Mid Ohio. I was driving and that's the exact same issue of the car wanting to go LEFT instead of RIGHT into madness. What a fealing in a VW!
I feel like I have to do this race someday, because it just sounds so fun. Thanks for sharing the story.
And subscribed. I love this channel and y'all's stories.
Just won my first Lemons Race a few weeks back, C as it would be. Twas awesomesauce and ridiculous fun for the money!
Great use of Duct Tape- J-B Weld- Bailing Wire & very lot of prayers. Damm I gave you too many tricks of the trade. Nascar do this every weekend.
sounds like a great time! great story dude!
Lemons for everyone! Keep up the good work! #TeamVinWiki
I just did my second LeMons race at Nola in a BMW 328i convertible that is now a truck. The first one was in a CRX at Barber. If you get a chance to do it, jump! Seriously fun.
My grandpa Steve Seeboth is the one that bought the car, he put moose antlers on it and called it the Mooserati lol!
Lemons is the glory days of nascar.
can we please get a Doug playlist his stories are always amazing!
When I had just started watching VINWiki I use to confuse Ed Bolian with this gentlemen lol 😂
Lmao 3:08 the Mexican Stig
That was a fun story. Thanks for sharing.
Can I give one video more than one thumbs up?this was an epic story. Thank you for sharing!
That is awesome! only took like 8 weekends. but you did it
Wearing that shirt to Amelia Concourse is legendary as fuck lmao
Having done Lemons, is can say, yes, it’s an awesome experience. Do it.
*Incredibly sarcastic* now that's a quality a look in a person.
This is on my bucket list
Doug is one cool dude! Great video! I am on the fence if this Lemons series is now too much about not racing, with all the silly antics, from all the you tube videos I have seen of late. Keep the teams focused on clean racing and car prep safety, not silly distractions.
yeah but i bet you can't keep turning laps at 11/10th with all the bolts missing from your subframe @ Gingerman :P
(yes i actually did this in a 99 Buick LeSabre "Viking Boat" )
watching these gives me the itch to build a new car, last time i raced was 2012 but that was with a healthy mechanic and i weighed about 75lbs less. A texas team rolls our old car now.
1998 golf gti is one amazing car!
I've always wanted a Lemons 914. Wonder how hard it would be to get it into the concours d'elegance. Vynil wrap maybe?
0:46 - "We had no idea that you had to -bieber- bribe the judges" 😂
VWs are fun race cars. We used to race an 85 Golf GL, but a few years ago moved to E36s
The Ferrari Club exec encountered a LeMon's racer. Classic. 🤣🤣
“I don’t need anybody to respect me ever”😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
I like this dude’s vibe
First time I watched this video I think, Ferrari is spelled wrong, ha ha. The second time I get to about 30 seconds from the end and realize, the horse is wrong too!
I'd open another browser Tab, Butt this story too good.
-at this moment i realised my 1994 accord i got for 250 with a leaky clutch line is able for the 24 hours of Lemons-
Say completely one more time with a smirk, maybe then we'll believe it! LMAO
24 hours of lemons?? Unlimited lemon juice!!
Haha , man that looks like a great way to go racing cheaply . Cost me $30,000 a year to race in the series I raced in and eventually up over $100,000 per season . Yikes .
It’s all free if u steal the car
The lemon event that my neighbor went to you had to have receipts for everything.
@@GrumpyIan I wonder if I buy the corvette for $500 and the radio in it for $5000 if that is ok ?
@@batsonelectronics What is in it means nothing as long as you didn't spend over a certain amount. There were other rules but how it worked was you had a budget of $500 (including insurance)
Hopefully we're able to race in the NW this next well whenever lol
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
great story!, really got sucked in. :)
Almost nobody got a Ferrari and Mustang mash up? That's hilarious! And I'm not a gearhead.
This sounds like the most fun ever.
I need a Ferari T-shirt! LeMons winner, of course.
I wish i could do this, it sounds like fun.
Hmm, I would like to go lemons racing one day. Although I never knew that you HAD to bribe the judges.
VinWiki, LeMons racing, and The Mexican Stig all in one video, what could be better?
Where do I go? Totally FU, dying laughing...
I saw on Top Gear where some of those Nords over there do a race very similar to this. They rally with cars that have to be under a certain amount, and the way they make sure they're under that amount is that after the race is over if someone wants to buy your car for that amount you have to sell it to them.
Do they factor in safety equipment? Roll cage, seats, and fire extinguisher easily costs 2500 dollars. So 3000 dollars is a fair price for one of these.
@@ChefofWar33 I imagine they'd have to. I know I would, especially if I knew I was going to eat a big loss at the end of a race with no prize money.
Is that Mustang on your Ferari shirt and ode to the Ford vs Ferrari battle in the 60's?
Sounds fantastic!
It's easy, just buy my ready to race 1991 RX7. Lemons or Chump Car ready, cage, seat, etc. Has a 5.0 and T5 swap, fast and reliable.
how much?
$500, yeah?
Going to do this with my 1976 Monitigo MX460 C6 easy pezzy.
Who needs radios? We don't even run any instruments lol.
"Race provenance" LOL!
You should race one of those VW passats with the Gt-r style taillights and i call it the ”gt-p”
As a young car guy stuck in Maine, Doug's stories give me a sense of hope. lol
Adam Fortin same. Especially now the roads are all heckin frigged up.
When he said that he was from Maine, I kinda got all gitty. Haha
Adam Fortin I know me too his fighting the good fight reppin hard for our set
Make your own stories! Lots of crazy stuff happens Downeast.
You got that right!
I want that T-shirt for real! Lol
"Spark it right now " seems like a Judge Phil quote
Awesome idea.
"the bs inspection which i think stands fro Barbara Streisand"
I feel like I could dominate in bribing 😂😂
This actually sounds really fun.
I like doug he seems like a nice little fella
I love how they took the Calgary Stampeders logo and just flipped it around xD originally guys
