Topic: New Team Intro for Chicago race
What do you get when you combine a BBQ pitmaster, a wrench wielding guitar hero, a Juliard educated business entrepreneur, and a handful of art students? A race team of course! On behalf of Team Carbeque, I would like to announce our intention to compete in the Rod Blagojevich Never-Say-Die 500 this October. We will be manifold cooking during race stints using our specially modified Saab 900, hoping to revolutionize the art of flameless (we hope) BBQ. Our sauces and dry rubs will be 100% our own recipe! Maybe even a special edition for Lemons?
See you at the track, and be sure to regularly stop by our pits as we will be taking meat off during driver changes. And don't worry, you wont be pulling rust grit out of your teeth. We will fabricate a specially enclosed heat controlled box against the exhaust manifold to ensure the most stable cooking under race conditions. The engine bay of our 900 is perfectly shaped for this, which is a major reason for picking this car.
Our carbeque is a naturally aspirated 1989 Saab 900 that we got for $400. It has some transmission issues (no second gear or reverse), but the previous owner supplied us with what he claims to be a good spare. She's rough (duh), but a runner through and through, and over the next few months we will get up to full speed.
Our website is at www.thecarbeque.com and will hopefully be fully up and running in a week or two. Expect several videos, and lots of picture updates. Thanks for checking us out!

However, might want to have a plan B for the bbq just in case the tech inspectors aren't quite as fond of manifold cooked meat.
). Adding or removing planks will regulate the temperature of the meat. There's also the possibility of not starting the meat in the car but its too early in the build to work out those finite details. Peace.
