Savage Orchid Racing

Savage Orchid Racing
do not go gentle into that good night. rage, rage against the dying of the light!

Founded in 2019, we’re a group of coworkers, colleagues, friends and family who like to race together. We compete in the 24 Hours of Lemons, endurance road-racing for cars that cost $500.

This content is intended to entertain, amuse, and perhaps inform (although following any advice we give you is strictly prohibited). We’d like to document our builds, our races, and our adventures. I’ve found most information about this sport is buried in forum posts, private facebook groups, and the collective wisdom of experienced racers. Hopefully at least one noob team finds this content, and is inspired, illuminated, or gets a chuckle at our expense.

Our Cars

Uma, a 2002 Ford Escort ZX2, FWD, 4cyl 5 speed
Dottie, a 1981 Datsun 280ZX, RWD, 6cyl, 5 speed
