From lemon to lemonade: AFRL researchers reclaim clunker for endurance race
With technical expertise and a fresh coat of paint, researchers from the AFRL Materials and Manufacturing Directorate Materials Integrity Branch transformed a 1992 BMW 325 into a race car for the 24 Hours of LeMons even in South Haven, Michigan, October 14-15, 2017. The series requires teams to field a competitive racecar for under $500. (U.S. Air Force Photo/Nicholas Jacobs)
From lemon to lemonade: AFRL researchers reclaim clunker for endurance race
Starting with an inoperable 1992 BMW 325, researchers from the AFRL Materials and Manufacturing Directorate Materials Integrity Branch transformed a clunker into a racer for the 24 Hours of LeMons event October 14-15, 2017, in South Haven, Michigan. The race series requires teams to field a competitive racecar for under $500. (U.S. Air Force Photo/Brett Jordan)
