SPOTTED!

Team Sensory Assault's Entry for Yeehaw its Lemons Texas 2009 at MSR.

Notice the Pneumatic Ram Actuated Dynamic Air Brake, True Colder Than Ambient Air Intake (patent pending), and a Horn that Would Make a Train Jump its Tracks and Cower in Fear!!!



Snagged this pic when the car was coming in for a pit stop at a secret testing area. Wonder what it will look like painted and in Fighting Trim?

John (TwistedRotors) and Chuck have been up all night perfecting the:

Anti-tailgater Suppression System: (A.S.S for short) and the dynamic air brake.

A.S.S. works by warning potential tailgaters with a flashing light when they get tooooo close to the rear bumper. If they get closer, they get a blast automatically from the rearward set of air horns.

Heard y'all are having fun! I don't think I'd want to stay out over night, but if I coulda made it for a few hours I think $20 woulda been worth it. Make sure someone takes a picture of www.twistedrotors.com

There is nothing better than waking up to the sound of a pissed off bridge-ported rotary! Chuck fixed the leaks, judges gave the thumbs-up, RACE IS ON!!!


Oh, and Phil won the Nobel Peace Prize. His driving saved a life. Seriously.

Lol! I don't know, some **** book that one of the judges wrote.

He blew the horn at one of the judges while they were on the sideline. It's quite loud.
