Car #34 - The Eh Team - Endurance Elite Racing

As a hobby, a group of us decided to enter the "crap can" world of budget Endurance Racing through 24 Hours of LeMons. The basic premise is that you purchase a vehicle for $500 and then outfit it for 8 hour multi-vehicle races, on various courses, throughout the United States. 

Our 2006 3.5l Chevy Impala was easily acquired for $500 back in 2018 but getting it "race ready" was a much more complex task. Not only did everything have to be stripped out of the car but a full roll cage and race seat was fabricated and installed, tires, rims and springs changed out, a fire suppression system purchased and then personal race gear for each driver sourced and purchased.

   

After completing our first 24 Hrs of Lemons race at Gingerman Raceway in October of 2018, we quickly realized that racing in Canada would be a whole lot cheaper. In Ontario, Lucky Dog Racing Canada ( www.racelucky.ca ) hosts similar weekend races at Calabogie Motorsports Park, Shannonville and Canadian Tire Motorsports Park. 

"Cheaper" is a relative term because when you include race fees, fuel, food, it quickly adds up. We were able to run two LDRC races in 2019 but with the COVID pandemic, we were not able to resume racing until the fall of 2021. The 2022 LDRC season included major changes to the Impala and the team. By the spring of 2023, we had worked hard to create a reliable, run with the back of the pack car and had secured Farm Business Consultants (www.FBC.ca) as our main sponsor. We successfully competed in the May Canadian Tire Motorsports Park race - finishing Sunday 6th of 11 GT3 teams, at the June Calabogie Motorsports Park race - finishing Sunday again 6th of 14 GT3 teams and then at the last race of the season back at Calabogie - finishing 4th of 9 GT3 teams.

In 2024, our season was cut short after our April Canadian Tire Motor Sports Park race weekend due to financial reasons. Despite placing 3rd in both the Saturday and Sunday GT3 8 hour races, we did not have the resources to continue with the remaining 3 race weekends.

For 2025, Lucky Dog Racing Canada changed its name to Endurance Elite Racing and in an effort to lessen the financial burden of Endurance Racing, I have chosen to compete in the Solo Class. In the first three races of the year, at Shannonville Motorsports Park, I placed 3rd in April. At Canadian Tire Motorsports Park in July, I placed 3rd again in the Solo Class. Our next races are both in September, once more at CTMP and then back to Shannonville at the end of the month. Addtional Sponsors are always welcome!
