I'm a major motorsport fan from the San Francisco area, and I never thought I'd see anyone do a Wikipedia article on this. Kudos, t3h awesome, to those responsible for writing it and expanding it, and getting it on the front page of Wikipedia. FCYTravis ( talk) 03:20, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
I can't believe I had to "dumb down" the article because of the amount of rubbish some people put into the article. I understand the slapstick nature of the races, but this is Wikipedia, and not everyone would appreciate the comedy that was interjected into the article. If your gonna add material, please read up on the various Wikipedia Policies. We have rules here. -- 293.xx.xxx.xx ( talk) 10:47, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
Seems like the 24 Hours of LeMons#Schedule should be either be removed or rewritten as WP:PROSE. Right now, only the races for 2009 to 2012 are listed and only the 2012 races are sourced. (Those citations are embedded citations and they probably need to be cleaned up as well). If someone adds the races for 2013 to 2016 in the same format, the article will really start to get bloated.
Maybe a short paragraph on each year's race supported by a citation a reliable source (perhaps an official page showing the schedule) could replace the lists. For example,
The 2009 LeMons consisted of 10 races at various racetracks across the country from February 28 until November 22: Houston Gator-O-Rama ( MSR Houston, February 28 – March 1), LeMons South Spring (Carolina Motorsports Park, April 4–5, (....).
might flow better than a bullet list. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 00:58, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

@ Doctor jacob: Can you please explain why you think the name of the article needs to be changed? Articles are named in accordance with WP:COMMONNAME, so changing a name is typically a major change that should be discussed. Feedback should be solicited from other editors and a consensus should be established for the name change. Changing the name within the article is pointless without changing the name of the article itself, and that requires a page move. In addition, all caps are typically not allowed for article names as explained in WP:ALLCAPS and WP:TMRULES. I am not suggesting the name cannot ever be changed; only that you need to discuss why before doing so per WP:CAUTIOUS. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 23:45, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
I added a couple of paragraphs about the recurring YouTube series produced by the 24 Hours of Lemons organizers. I included a "features and expressions" subsection, inspired by a section by the same title on the Roadkill (web series) Wikipedia article. Admittedly, it's hard to find 3rd party sources about the YouTube video series. I did my best to at least include references to example videos (and timestamps within the videos) that contain the themes that I have described here. Feedback appreciated.

24 Hours of Lemons – this racing series changed the capitalization of one letter down to lower case (the "M" in Lemons) back in November, 2016. I would normally move the page, but it won't let me because the name isn't different (page already existis).
