6x6 Racing Results 2010

[jerseybigfoot]

The 6 outriggers Apache Gear built for me have done a fine job at keeping me from using the cage that Shoestring Hardtales built for me.

Out riggers? I heard they were training wheels.

I didn't want to jinx ya, so I left you out of the discussion... We're not going to mention the Griffin's, eith... doh!

*I tend to roll. A lot. Come to think of it, just about everybody I build cages for rolls. JP, GeoJem, me (TWICE this year!). Glad nobody gets hurt.

Between all of us, we could really make one great race team! But then there'd be nobody to race against, so nix that idea.

So what are the constraints on "Rookie Class", anyway? I've been in TWO officiated racing events. Ash 2009, and 2010.

*I have extremely limited driving skills (watch the videos where I try to muscle through the turns and end up almost out in the rhubarb each time)

*My machines rarely finish a race from a myriad of causes (broken bearing flanges, disintegrated piston, broken chain, bent axle, loose locking collars [all THIS year....] )

*I can lead for a couple laps until the adrenaline/testosterone stew that's powering me starts leaking out of some unknown orifice (see lap 2.75 on the Apache Challange)

*I tend to roll. A lot. Come to think of it, just about everybody I build cages for rolls. JP, GeoJem, me (TWICE this year!). Glad nobody gets hurt.

*All of my machines are relatively experimental, untested concoctions of plastic, steel tubes, and engines selectively rebuilt with a gallon of penetrating oil, a propane torch, a sledge hammer and some old Molly Hatchet cassettes spinning in the background.

I.... am a rookie.

Hydro in the Rookie class

And George.... glad he didn't have a tank in turn #1 I have seen him flatten real cars....in person...and he likes it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And Mark the secret agent with the break-away tires to foul any attempt of others to follow.


You guys crack me up!!!!!!!!!!

Gee I didn't even know it fell off. Sorry about that. But it does give me an Idea. Look at the power you would save if you only drove the front and rear tires.

Normal in this group is a bit like normal at an insane asylum

You hit the nail right on the head with that one, Mike! Very well said.

[hydromike]

My gleaming personality usually overcomes the worst lies, once people meet me. George used to be the saaaaame way, but then he started racing.

I miss the old George. The new George is a ferocious meat-eater, hungry for anything he can sink his springer-claws into, out of Turn 1.

Well Mike, even with all the lies I tell my kids about you, they were still rootin' for you when you were on the track. I'm kinda scared to race with you because they'll still be rootin' for you :{

[micmac]

I have to admit, something dark takes hold of me when I get on that track.

I'm usually back to normal after I get off.

[Joe M]

No! I AAAAAMMMmmmm a rookie! I hit Jiimmy Orr, broke a chain and rolled all in one fell swoop! I really have no idea what I'm doing out there.

(Man, that fat yellow pig really does go. Much better than last year.)

And! you burned your hand! OUCH!!!!!

[George]

I know, right? It's the quiet, nice one's that you have to worry about......
