Topic: Goin' For Broken—paddock pictures

I ambled around and took some pictures in the paddock when I wasn't driving:

I added a bunch of on-track pictures, including this one of the Tiger Woods Supra on track:

Re: Goin' For Broken—paddock pictures

Drew, questions about your car:

1. Did you put rally car springs on it?

2. Why in the world didn't you guys take the potentially valuable M-Tech body kit off the car and sell it?

3. Why did your car still have Chrome on it? 

(get it?)

A cigar???  Oh, that's what it was!!!  I couldn't figure that out from the pictures Chris, but now it makes sense!

1. Nope totally stock suspension, but I see what you mean—it really was riding high on the track:

2. We had no idea that the body kit on it was worth anything...the thought of it being anything special never crossed my mind.  I'm the most car-guy on the team, and I'm even a Bimmer guy, but I have an e36, so I guess I'm just too low on older knowledge.

3. I see what you did there ;-)  The entire team is super pumped about doing a good theme for the next race.  Since we're a group of software engineers & marketing chmps, and none of us has a welder (much less a garage), we can't do anything like the Cannonball Bandits, but we'll get something good together.p

Re: Goin' For Broken—paddock pictures

We're more than happy to help people stiffen up their themes on tech day!

The Flying Lumberjacks were next to us, and they initially said they were going to take that sweetass hatchet off their roof.  We said, "No frickin' way, let us help you out."

And it stayed on the entire race!  Another victory for the Bandits!

We're pretty lucky in that we have a teammate who works in a steel fab shop.  Makes angle iron pretty easy to come by! 

Stop by at the Arse-Sweat if you need some fab help!
