RACING HISTORY !
Rally Race!
So someone in my school's racing club decided to stage a rally race. I decided to race in my 1993 Chevy Lumina. It's 140 horses of RAW POWER we going to be more than enough to propel it's 3400 lbs. of weight down those straightaways and into the turns. Also, It had plenty of room for my co-driver to navigate, and for one of my friends who fancied himself a mechanic to ride in the backseat with all of the necessary tools and snacks.
The race started off nicely enough, and 70 miles into it, we actually were in first place, despite stopping to pull someone out of a ditch (yes we pulled a Ford F-150 out of a ditch with a Chevy Lumina), and the fact that 3 miles of the race were over a road that was so rough that it didn't leave a single inch of the underbody of the car un-scratched. Needless to say, despite our fantastic performance, we ended up getting a flat about 7 miles from the finish line when a 4 inch long carriage bolt managed to jam itself into my tire. We crossed the finish line in 3rd place, and ate some hot dogs from a gas station.
AutoCross!
After racing in several autocrosses at school, and watching the guys with VERY HIGH PERFORMANCE Hyundai Accents removing extra weight from the car, I decided that it would be a good idea for me to remove ALL non-welded components from the vehicle. *Note* the 5 air horns and giant air horn compressor were required for maximum racing potential... also... la cucaracha!
So anyways, that annoying guy with the Hyundai Accent ended up doing this our senior year...
Also, I competed in this Mazda racing thing, and I play alot of Grand Theft Auto 3, so I figure that will come in handy during the race. Well... only if we mount a "Triangle" button somewhere in the car that is.
CURRENT CARS !

Yes this picture was taken in front of Lowes just the other day, and I can assure you there is no place in this car that you can fit a 4' section of galvanized pipe.

Yah... the beater... good for hauling pipe.... Also good for plowing through an entire herd of deer on I-81 South through Pennsylvania.
