New penalty: if a Z wins, the judges have to spend a weekend handcuffed to Troy.  Do it.  Do it.

Troy spends enough time in the penalty box... that's cruel and unusual punishment

Between Jonny and I, only one of us would be left standing and I don't wanna be stuck dragging him around all weekend.

Besides, you shouldn't give Jonny nightmares like that.

As long as the Green Piece (o'crap) biofuel diesel doesn't pop a pump 3 days before the race (Like 2 months ago) we'll be smoke'n the track with beef aroma.  (Our biofuel is made from beef talow)

GreenPiece Diesel
Maybe one day we'll build a real car.

TetanusNeon (#70) returns to spread the joy of lockjaw.

It looked like too many people of our band of idiots would sit out February so I didn't enter the second car (Lawnmower, #71). Therefore it was inevitable that everyone would change their minds and say, "yeah, I'm back in! Let's enter the second car!" on the day AFTER the deadline. We'll see if Jay et al have mercy on us.

My bet is you'll be in the race with both teams. How many teams signed up?

I sure hope so. After all, the pace bus belongs to one of the other guys. smile My beat-up shared-with-neighbor F150 isn't nearly as cool.

Re: Gator-O-Rama Acceptance

Union Jack racing is in. Figured the Mini Cooper escaped the crusher once so we are going to run a 1973 MGB, We tried a MG midget but i couldn't get my knees under the steering wheel!
Understand the car had 73 hp when new. We are trying to find a supercharger real cheap!!!!

If you had to settle for a chrome-bumpered B, at least you are sufficiently courageous/deranged/misinformed to select a model with HIF4 carbs (or the Zenith-Stromberg if you find that supercharger).  Factory overdrive and wire wheels?

Re: Gator-O-Rama Acceptance

We're in - Bringing back the Karmann Ghia. And we got number 42 this time - a little more appropriate for the theme.

Hopefully, we'll be able to fix the fuel pump issue that plagued us our first race, and maybe tune the engine so it makes full advance. Oh, and fix the steering and whatever makes that horrible clunk in the rear suspension whenever you turn.

It all seems so improbable though.

Re: Gator-O-Rama Acceptance

So painful that we had to pass on this race this time. I don't understand how the wife insists that she needs me around the house more now when she's just knocked up rather than after the baby arrives (thus okay to race in June at Eagles Canyon but not in Feb at Houston), but I know better than to argue with a pregnant woman. Cheers guys.
