Private Notes
The race is on as Adam, John, Matt and Dan race in the “24 Hours of Lemons”, a highly competitive endurance racing series where cars cannot be worth more than $500 and cheating is encouraged. Then, they’re off to the Mojave Mile, where once a year, a local airstrip is transformed into a one-mile drag strip. Matt Farah is there with a Porsche GT3 RS. His only goal: to go as fast as humanly possible. Later, Dan Neil takes the swanky Rolls-Royce Ghost on a road test. Using his technical expertise and offbeat humor, he finds out if it’s really worth a quarter-million dollars. Special Guest: Jimmie Johnson, the first auto racing driver to be named Athlete of the Year by Associated Press and winner of five consecutive NASCAR Sprint Cup Championships
