Race 29, Grizzly Adams Had A Beard


Ah, good old Grizzly... following the shock retirement of team Death, only four carts made it out to the hills for this race, and two of those didn't survive the day. Here, Obsession is streaking away from Chariot of the Dogs...



But the pink peril is hot on his tail... Bootylicious hits the lead and stays there!


For some, it's less about the winning, and more about the fashion...


Chariot is winning nothing, if it can't stop its tyres from exploding...



2 wheels bad, 4 wheels good?...

Yeah, likely...

Something's gone wrong here - important bits have fallen off, and the camera has decided to go in a different direction from the rest of the cart...
No, no, please don't make me go down that steep hill again...

Official Results:
  1. Bootylicious
  2. Obsession
  3. Chariot of the Dogs
  4. Quicksilver
Check the movie here!

Thanks as always to camerafolk and crew members - see you next time!

Race 28, The Hamptons


Is that the sound of banjos duelling in the background?

Yup, its The Hamptons again...


Not a huge turnout, but an eventful race – check out the film asap!

Now, that looks like a wheel... but wait – there's no cart attached? We'll get to that soon, but first the race itself; a narrow strip and two big wide vehicles together on the grid – what could possibly go wrong?

Alright then, this is what happened...

Gravity makes us go, but trees seem to make us stop, apparently...

Whatever it takes, you're not in the official results unless you cross the finish line...

Found it! (eventually)... just stick it back on and it'll be right!

Official Results:
  1. Bootylicious
  2. Paddles
  3. Obsession
  4. Chariot of the Dogs
  5. Quicksilver
  6. Ton O' Fun (helped with crash)
  7. Inspiration
  8. Old 47 (crashed, pushed across line)
Thanks again to those brave souls who film and help out - the infamous road crew. See you next time...
