Jay Lamm is the organizer of the 24 Hours of Lemons - endurance racing in $500 cars. It might be as cheap as wheel to wheel racing can get but it still costs money. Here's the only exception to that in history.

I do think we need to put together a VINwiki Lemons Team.
That is the best idea ever
I'm in, let me know where and when....Oh hang on...Vegas !
💯💯💯
Ed Bolian agree
Join Doug's... He just ran with us in October at Gingerman!!
The comment about the guy saying you’re taking food out of my kids mouth when you wreck him rings true in the the south at the Friday night action tracks!
"HOLY HOT DAMN, YOU GUYS GOT JAY LAMM?!?!"
-Lemons geeks everywhere
Oh sure, but I want to hear more of Jeff Glenn's stories.
Now they need Spank, but dayum... Jay is a riot! Very cool dude to boot
Whoa, Jay Lamm, no shit!
@@jauken83 why you rune.... klassic?
I was part of Team Cougar Bait at Lemons in Toledo in 08. About an hour into the race our first driver got turned into the concrete barrier and smashed up the right front. We spent hours rebuilding the car, a Saab, even getting a lot of help from Team Sofa King racing who parked next to us in the pits(They turned out to be a Pratt & Lambert Corvette racing pit crew) and using my van to pull out the subframe. We moved it enough to run either a radiator or an intercooler for the turbo. We put the radiator in and finally got back on track. Overnight it was cool, but when the sun came up the engine started to get hot. We ended up parking it for the final few hours, then getting back on track with about 15 minutes to go. We finished and we won the Most Heroic Comeback trophy. A few years later we went to Nelson Ledges, OH, a miserable, cold and wet weekend. 30 minutes into the race our engine exploded. The engine had been rebuilt by someone who used gallons of blue RTV instead of gaskets and it clogged the oil pickup. Some local said said he knew of an engine that would work and was for sale. So two of guys jumped into a pickup and drove off into the wilds of North East Ohio with a complete stranger never to be seen again(OK, that's not true). They were gone about 4 hours but eventually returned with an engine. We worked for 7 hours, but the new engine wouldn't work with our transmission. We spent the remainder of the weekend drunk. Good times!
I want to be on a team like this so bad
"We spent the remainder of the weekend drunk."
That's the only part of this story i find believable...
@@kruleworld I don't really care what you believe. I was there, you weren't.
@@AeroGuy07 wow, that joke when way over your head
@@kruleworld calling me a liar is joke? Please, explain.
It is still amazing how much money you can spend on $500 cars. Awesome premise though.
I could have a brand new just about anything in my driveway if I hadn't gone Lemons racing. Instead, my daily was made in 1996 when I was barely 13 years old.
I'm happy with how things turned out though.
THE FAKE ACCENT I DIED LAUGHING
😂
RIP
An English guy from Brisbane maybe...
@@philiprowney I dunno, I only counted a couple of times it slipped into Aussie, that puts him easily in the top 0.001% for American attempts at British accents haha
Cringing so hard
You know how to make a small fortune??
Take a Big fortune and go racing.
3100 capris i mint condition go for 50k£ in the uk
rah the had a hidden gem
Haha even from the thumbnail you could see it was an RS3100. Thank the lord it was saved lol
As soon as i saw the thumbnail ,"holy shit , thats an RS!"
If you want to see just how badass the yellow capri was. Check out what it was homologated into by searching" cosworth capri rs3100" or "cosworth GAA" .serious bit of kit.
I still feel like Sierra XR8 is most crazy homologation special atleast from Ford.
Capri RS 3100s are currently +40k in the UK in mint condition.
"I just can't see how this can go wrong"
😂
We look forward to seeing you again fine sir! 😁
Absolutely love it. God damn this channel rules. It reminds me of like , the British Top Gear run by a guy who really seems ostensibly English, with a great personality , bringing on guests who *should* (and in one case .. was) have been presenters on a successful version of the US Top Gear.
"The Brits love 'em, they love them in Australia".
Your accent was a combination of both.
But not even close for either.
Dungeons & Dragsters might be the best idea I've never heard.
Roll D20 for save vs. wall.
Th' way Jay does accents is INSANE!!!
Ahhh- NO! That was terrible. Just like when ANY American does an Aussie OR Brittish accent- they both sound equally bad and incorrect
@@danielbrealey2924 I bow to your superior wisdom, sir! In retrospect, I should have known: NO Yank can EVER hope to do a halfway acceptable impression, let alone imitation, of an Aussie OR Pom accent. Nope. Never happen. Never has; never will.
I'd say it was as funny as it was bad :P
Sounded like a passable Dick Van Dyke accent to me. :)
This was great. My cousin in London was REALLY into Capris in the late 80s and early 90s.
Fond memories...
10/10 story
ED, i look forward every morning to new videos, keep them coming, happy new years!
2 years, and I still come back to this part alone 2:24, man I love Jay Lamm, he is a treasure and must remain protected at all costs
The plates you can see at 3:42 are actually old plates from my hometown, Saarbrücken (=SB), in Germany. Under the hyphhen used to be a round sticker with the city's seal and above a round coloured one which showed the month and year of your next TÜV check. I wonder were they got them from. Made my day!
That was the best story you've collected guys. Absolutely priceless.
Great story and great story telling.
I look forward to more mad-cap stories!
"Nobody ever made money with racing"
"Hold my F1 World Championship trophy" - Ross Brawn
The team is losing crazy amounts of money
With the available numbers, Red Bull Racing have actually been in the black for the last couple of seasons. Also, these companies can justify the massive budget for the F1 teams as marketing costs - Ferrari would not have the brand it does without having competed every year in F1 for the last 60-70 years.
Well, he's right, Ross actually made a fair amount of money. He bought the Brawn team from Honda for one quid and sold it a year later to Mercedes. Hint: he didn't sell it for one quid 😉
I'm pretty sure he meant if you, as an individual, decided you were going to make money racing, you wouldn't. You spend more than you win to keep the car going.
@@migueljbento and you believe that this was sale tag price? This nad to be some sort of agreement and he got an oportunity to but it for a quid instead of smth.
This guy needs to tell more stories
24hoursoflemons has its own YT channel...
No. Don't get him started. Jay can tell stories until the end of time.
MORE LEMMOSN STUFF PLZZ!!!
cheers
You guys finally got the lemons guys on!
What a fantastic story! Thanks for sharing!!!
I had a capri perana 302cu back in 1977 when I was 18yrs old the guy I sold it to still owns it to this day and I am in New Zealand
I never even heard of a Capri before. Thanks for sharing.
Not even a Mercury Capri?
@@kruleworld Nope.
I put some Cortina go fast parts as well as 60 series BFG’s on my 71 Capri and it was still a slow autocrosser:(
Congrats on a million!
Get jay back for more! Great story!
great story, great storyteller!
Great story, well told! Love the Brit accent, cor blimey mate!
1971 Capri was my first car. It had severe understeer build in.
This guy is a Great story teller more please!
"So, the cars have to be $500 or less?". Lemons: "Well yes, but actually no"
Had a 1979 Capri, which was basically a Mustang with some flourish. A few years later traded it in for an 1983 Mustang. But I would love to have had one of the Capri's !
Ford US wouldn't give Europe the Mustang (which they wanted) ..so Ford Europe made their own.
Love this tour!!! Iove it !!!
I like that guy, need more of those for sure.
4:03 *the real car wizard*
Pinkamena Diane Pie HAH
How do you make a small fortune racing? Start with a large fortune
My first new car was a 1972 Capri V-6 w/4 speed($2950.00 new). The speedometer went to 140, my fastest was 135. I LOVED that car! I ran it in road rallies & always beat the crap out of those Porche 914's. I had it parked where I worked & a semi was making a delivery in the real of the store & he backed the trailer over the hood, up to the roof line!! He... KILLED... my... CAR !!!!!!!
Yeeessss!!!!!!! So glad jay in finally on here
Best channel out 💗
My old man had a 72 Capri back in my childhood days, it was the V6 GT model painted candy apple red w/ gold striping up the bodyline and had the Super Roo badge behind the front wheel arches. He sold it when I was 11 for $14,000 (aud).
Fast forward 6 years, we see the car in the yard of the guy that brought it completely stripped and sitting in a paddock behind a boat shed. Shell was completely stuffed, busted glass everywhere the works. Made the old man shed a manly tear.
Love the Lemons content.
This guy's a superb storyteller
That RS3100 is so collectible.
That was also an RS2600.
THey ran in many touringcar championships next to BMW 3.0csl and Alfa Romeo 2000 GTam , Opel Commodore GS/E. Glad that can got saved.
Lemons is the only race series I'm left watching, in my old age.
I can't even remember the fellows name who owned the 1973 RC Cola Can Am 917 Porsche team. He didn't stay in the sport long but he had the best line ever on money in Motor Sport. "I know there's money in racing, lots and lots of money.........because I put it there."
German made capri, indestructible, I had one as a work car , it had been used as a rally car for years when I got it. Drove it for 18 months just added oil to engine, it still ran when I sold it to junk yard for more than I paid for it.
Good morning, I hope your Tuesday goes well!
More from this guy -- he can tell a story.
How can you not know the RS Series Capri? That´s like the holy grail of Capris! My father actually owned a RS2600 back in the day, kept it a few years and sold it on for a profit when he felt the engine was about to let go.
It's like a Yenko Camaro or a Shelby Mustang to Capri nuts.
Lemons racing is goals.
Capri thumbnail! Yaaaaas!
That Mad Max Livery on that Capri was sick, 10 out of 10 would daily
I wanna hear more...!
when I saw the picture I knew the was not an normal capri
"AH FUCK NOW I GOT A CAPRI"
im literally dying, this guy is amazing
This reminds me i need to get back to one of my NZ Lemons cars
he had me at 10 sided fuzzy dice
Ed I got an extra seat if you’re looking. I’m ATLANTA based as well. Or we can build another one if you’re not in love with RX8’s. But there’s nothing more reliable the a rotary. That’s a thing right?
Hell yeah go Jay!!!
Where's the rest of the story?
3:41 Second from the Left... Is that Yellawolf!?!?
WAIT WAIT! I wasn't done listening to the story!!
These guys have to be the luckiest SOBs on earth
feels like the story is unfinished ! did they win? did they lose?did they double the money again ?
Super cool story
MK 1 capri RS 3100 cosworth lol what a find, big guards and quad lights, big duck tail, there was also a RS 2600, all the RS spec race cars were special order hand made in the Ford factory in Cologne Germany along side the normal homologation road cars on the nor,mal production line ,i think the Zac Speed turbo Grp 5 Capri RS 3100 made over 315 kW at the rear wheels in 1975 tho bit of a hand grenade, one sold recently for over 1 million pounds as raced, unrestored .
I love this story
You got a guy who's in charge of Lemons trying to do a Limey accent but ends up sounding like a drunk from Oz.
Perfect!
Banger raced a Jps rs 3.1 years ago as at the time it was just an old car..
A Capri RS 3100 in Daytona yellow ain't no lemon ,and it doesn't matter what condition it's in .
That’s literally the rarest fastest coolest Capri so glad it didn’t end up getting raced and ruined
24 h of lemons and the man himself on vinwiki at the same day
Is is christmas again?
We need a lemons car trek
YES JAY!!!!! #24HOURSOFLEMONS
Eddie Jordan,Peter Stodart,Tyrrell,Peter Sauber say,hold my beer😂
every time i drain the oil and start the engine back up my engine blows. does anyone know how i can fix this? when your oil drains down your driveway how long is there a residue?
I hope your kidding but use brake clean
@@rustedratchetgarage6788 haha yes just kidding and brakleen is a life saver sometimes
Me trying to recognize the guy in the first few seconds because i remember him from somewhere..
Ooooooo
Lemons!!!!!
Funny enough, sounds like my experience with insurance totaling my cars. 3rd car in and I havent had to save money for a car since the first one.
Jay Lamms rules!
My teams little red AW11 was in the back, win
Us Brits go nuts for old fords 😂😂😂
I stumbled across this by accident, I have a Capri sat on my drive. I wish it was an RS3100 though, or an RS2600, these cars are extremely collectible here in the UK and fetch a fair price. Also his accent was far more Australian than British.
I just do drivers ed with PCA. My window banner reads " checks in the mail motorsports" 😄😄😄😄🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺😎😎
And that is how I did a poo on a chihuahua in my garden ..... "winwiki music plays"
I got a 77 mustang they can have for 300. :) Its got a rusty 4 banger in it. If they put a bigger carb and a turbo on it they might get some decent action out of it.
I would like to hear him explain the bribing situation.
Corruption and cheating is rife in sport and other organised activities. Lemons is open about it. If you exceed the budget or you show dubious evidence, it's bargaining time: To avoid a ton of penalty laps, you need one or more of the following:
1. Novel and humorous theme (not Blues Brothers, Family Truckster, easy race livery), with quality compensating for a lack of novelty.
2. Unusual or notorious car (korean sedans, Chrysler Avanti etc)
3. Bribe the judges with food, beverages or relevant gifts (e.g a rare part for a judge's project car, suitcase of spaghetti-ohs), and/or food, beverages etc for the marshalls
4. Have a very poor chance of running well (e.g Roadkill) or driving well (e.g Car & Driver)
5. The Epic Concept: twin-engined Honda Odyssey; Ford Contour with a Mustang body and a Hoonicorn paintjob; Viper-enginged Rolls Royce; Upside-down Corvette, sideways VW Microbus, 4-poster bed, "The Spirit Of Lemons" Cessna-bodied Toyota minivan (these last 4 were all by SpeedyCop).
Many years ago my brother had an RS3100 (rusty). It was stolen and abandoned.The engine was wrecked, the insurance paid out 'cause their man had a buyer regardless of condition. He will have paid a fair price then spent a great deal restoring a collectable. Ford continued with this body style after the new shape was released in order to make the homologation number. (UK) Not bad with the accent by the way!
Yes! 👍
To refresh your memory of the UK built Capri 3100 as different to the German built RS2600 Capris - www.rsownersclub.co.uk/rs-marques/capri/rs3100/
I'm English and that accent made me fucking LAUGH XD
What do you mean you can’t make money racing? Obviously Jay wasn’t referring to the concession trailer that sells .10¢ Bar-S hotdogs for $3.75🤑🌭
Bro in dubai there is a competitive drag race track they race for money. Average is 5000 dirham. U can also watch people race
What is that car at 0:58 seconds in? I don't think I've seen a smoothwedge looking hatchback (?) like that ever.
Looks somewhat like a lowered mid-70s AMC gremlin with a Pontiac fiero front clip added on.
