There is apparently a 24 Hours of LeMons (a parody of LeMans and also a pun on lemons) where the cost of building a car cannot exceed $500.00 U.S. Mr. Block designed his car to compete in that race.

I’ve been reading about Jeff Bloch for a while now. The car was designed for the Car & Driver 24 Hours of LeMons races. There are all sorts of cool cars that have been developed for the races.
