Got a sweet vintage "barrow" here at the shop, got faded to grey wood frame and handels, got some dried up dog crap in it so its methane powered.
I'll donate our parkinglot for the race if modmans neighbours shut us down. We even have a nice ashphalt jump that the spectators will love.

NO RULES!

This is a no holds barred race. Run what ya brung and giv'er. Brewhouse, Coors, Jack Daniels, moonshine, whatever will be allowed to fuel your race machine, there will be no fuel testing at this event.

Anything and anything will be allowed to race, wheelbarrow's are good but if you wanna bring the "for sale" sign off your nieghbours front lawn and race it, it will be allowed. My wheelbarrow is fast enough to take on any and all race machines that you fuggers want to bring.

 

[JaySimon]

Thank god. I just placed an order for a new lightweight bucket this afternoon, and I picked up some Monster stickers at lunch.

Prepare to be destroyed.
