On June 1-2, the High Plains Raceway in Deer Trail, Colorado hosted 24 Hours of Lemons — an endurance race for cars that cost less than $500 — or as they call it, "Where Halloween Meets Gasoline, it's a breeding ground for morons." Jamie Kripke was there to capture the action.

I knew I'd need plenty of fill light to both overpower the sun, and to brighten up the dark recesses of the pit areas. I was told by more than one person that my FrankenStrobe creation was very "Lemony."
It was the most fun I've had shooting in a long time. I was totally inspired by the creativity of the racers, and especially by the ingenuity of the mechanics, who definitely had their work cut out for them.
