Team Beach?

Saturday, May 20th, 2006

I received the following email this week:

Dear Sir,
Our concern occurs on many levels.
-The lack of race dates
-The lack of identified course
The fact that there are no racing sanctions associated with this race.
The fact that I may receive no Winston Cup points toward my participation
-The fact we are thinking of buying a 1964 Ford Falcon stationwagon to kick your collective asses
Team Beach

Idiotarod 2006

Thursday, January 26th, 2006

“The Iditarod is the famous long-distance race in which yelping dogs tow a sled across Alaska. Our Idiotarod is pretty much the same thing, except that instead of dogs, it’s people, instead of sleds, it’s shopping carts, and instead of Alaska it’s New York City.”

It’s like the $1000 Race, but with shopping carts.

Daddy Desert Racer

Saturday, January 14th, 2006

Here’s the driver I’m trying to get to join the $1000 Race:


Dad Proctor and his custom Xterra. He’d need to scale things down a bit, but one thing’s for sure: He’s not afraid to roll.
