Some of the USC students took it upon themselves to find a car on Craigslist and enter in the race of LeMons - a spin off of the famous race of Lemans - but with cars valued at less than $500.

After wrenching and restoring for a few months, the race seat, roll bar, paint job and engine were ready to go!

Unfortunately the engine blew up not too far into the race (surprise), but it was all in good spirits up at the raceway in Sonoma, CA.
