24 HOURS OF LEMONS TEAM

I've been a fan of the 24 Hours of Lemons events since the first event way back in 2006. I've never been to one but I love the irreverent ingenuity and joy that literally explodes from each of their YouTube videos.

So, 2026 is the year that a Rally4Vets team will join the fray on behalf of our veteran suicide prevention program and, of course, the pure fun.

Founder Robert Hess

I'm an Army combat veteran and PTSD survivor. I know the crippling impact depression and PTSD can have on veterans.

Almost 20 veterans take their own lives every day. Rally4Vets programs play a role in reducing this death toll through awareness and by connecting veterans to support resources.

Our Rally4Vets programs offer motorsports enthusiasts an opportunity to support America's veterans while we do what we love.

Dogs Help Control PTSD

Trained service and emotional support dogs play an important role in helping relieve emotional stress.

Studies show that animals, especially dogs, help humans produce neurotransmitters that make them happy. Dogs increase the neurochemicals in the brain called dopamine. This is the neurochemical associated with love, bonding, and pleasure.

Rally4Vets programs provide financial support to organizations providing free dogs to veterans.

Something to Drive

24 Hours of Lemons events are all about fun.

The motto: "Racing isn't just for rich idiots - it's for all idiots!"

The format: Buy a car for $500.00; equip it to meet safety standards; then drive it for 24 hours.

Rally4Vets will acquire a car and get it fitted with the required safety gear.

We need a team of drivers. No race license required! Interested?

People to Fix It

24 hours is a long time. And it probably will seem like an eternity to any vehicle we can acquire for $500 or less.

So, our small but mighty band of veterans will need some talented mechanics to keep us in the game.

2024 isn't that far away. WE ARE RECRUITING!
