And the final three, I made it THRU THE SAND PIT and back onto the pit exit road, then back to the track.

The Story behind that was, I wanted to outrun the purple car (higher HP) with the Pink car (Lower HP), ............ I DID IT BUT RAN OUT OF ROAD..

Everyone gets to see pictures of the daytime activities, well here is just a spec of what happens during the night time, this was some drunk fixing.

No video. Just pictures. And fingers weren't in danger, just toes!




And a couple other "interesting" pics. The bad quality is because they were taken at night. It has nothing to do with the amount of beer we had been drinking. Seriously.

One day you-all will get a rich sponsor and good parts.
Then what would you use all the spare time to do?

If we had a rich sponsor.... total mis-appropriation of funds!

Paint the portable ghetto. Maybe install a stripper pole, a badass stereo system, and a seating area / bar on the roof.

Plasma cutter - just in case we need one for a hasty drive train removal prior to crushing of the car. Oh yeah - and we're total pyros.

HD projector and a new PA system for Guitar Hero

Dedicated trailer for the hot tub.

I think we might need a couple rich sponsors so we can do stuff to the Lemons too!

Holy crap! The Restrictor plate! I almost forgot about that f-ing drunk-as-hell-potential-fail-fest-so-lucky-we-somehow-didnt-lose-any-appendages-fix!

It wasn't the sawzall that had me worried! Nobody got pics of the hole cutter cutting through the lawnmower blade-esque sheet of stainless steel being held by two people's feet! Holy crap, I was certain that thing was going to end up lodged an inch deep in somebody's shin!

^^^ Best part is is that it was a WOOD HOLE SAW BLADE being driven through stainless. It screamed, it sparked, it set the 4x4 block under it ON FIRE!

... and the motor still blew up before it made one lap.
