From our Brazilian correspondent

Well then, our friend in Brazil has been out and about testing his pride and joy, and there's a vid on YouTube to prove it...

Good luck with it – we hope he finds someone to race against! The original is here.

Race 39, Grizzly Adams

November 2010 - carts-a-plenty, including two debutants...

First up, we have TOE CUTTER (if you know the Mad Max films, you'll recognise the name); a worthy successor to Death Machine.

It's looking a little skeletal so far, but bodywork is in progress, we hear. Next up we have LIDDLE PIG, can't imagine why it's called that!...

Some people thought it was a joke. But they weren't laughing when it flew past them on the track...

Oh, all right, they were laughing - when they saw that to drive the thing, you had to be a contortionist...

Of sh*t! forgot to bring the steering wheel...

Kymbo turned up on possibly the biggest trailer we have ever seen...

Art of the cart... homemade T-shirt and a sneak peek at the next incarnation of Chariot of the Dogs (maybe!)...

Official Results:

1. Kymbo
2. Paddles
3. High Roller
4. Liddle Pig
5. This-a-way

10.Obsession

Of course big thanks to our faithful crew! Movie soon.

Race 38, Baker's Delight

An annual favourite, raced this time in October, a beautiful morning and a good turn out. And if you look closely you'll see Death Machine, making a welcome comeback after months away from the action.

Here we are at the start, let them wagons roll!

But at the bottom, it's a different story – Kymbo arrives at the line, all alone...

Everyone else gets there eventually...

Official Results:

1. Kymbo

5. Death Machine

6. DMax

Thanks, supporters, followers, helpers...

Race 38 film coming soon...

Race 37, The Hamptons

Ok, we need to bring things a bit up to date a bit, whilst race films are being made. So, back in September 2010 we raced The Hamptons – well, three of us did! It was going to be the Season 4 opener at the mighty Bakers Delight, but due to various unexpected circumstances no-one else turned up, so we decided to save that track 'til next time instead... meanwhile, Chariot of the Dogs recorded it's first ever win, but it was a hollow victory with only two carts to beat...

So anyway, what we did after the official race, was to each drive the other two carts and try them out - and quite a nervewracking experience that was - they all handle very differently, and not all go (or stop) as you'd expect...

Not sure what this is, but it fell off High Roller, half way down...

Official Race Film here!

In the pipeline (6)

Here we have a progress report on the cart introduced to us from "in the pipeline 1", a few weeks ago. Wooden in construction, but not performance, we expect... our spies tell us it is just about ready to race - should see it in action in a week's time, then!

In the pipeline (5)

Well, they just keep coming! Here's a radical makeover-in-progress for Dog Bandit or Dog House or whatever it's called... this one looks almost ready to race.

On the other hand, this thing (below), looks far too good to ever risk on a the kind of tracks we're used to... but wow! doesn't it look impressive!?

In the pipeline (4)

Well, what have we got here, then? One of our eagle-eyed racers came across this creation on YouTube, and a hugely impressive piece of engineering it is. We don't know the gentleman responsible for it, but he name-checks us – hope we get to see it in real life, real soon!

Here's some more pictures from his film, (below) or you can see the whole thing for yourselves at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8RN4DFAndU

Happy New Year

Well, there's no race this January but there's plenty going on behind the scenes.

We are gradually closing the gap between races taking place and films being posted (and blog updates going out).

Coming up in the next month are films for Races 37, 38 and 39. And still more carts are in the pipeline, we'll be keeping you up to date with these too...

Here's a little teaser from Race 39 – say hello to "Liddle Pig" and "Toecutter"...

In the pipeline (3)

From Mr Walsh:-

"Here is another sketch of light weight cart that is in the pipeline as well.

It has wheel chair wheels I had Charlie machine for bigger bearings and disc brakes on rear. He machined up some front steering components too. Haven't any pics of real thing yet. Keep ya posted..."

Race 36, Grandus Maximus Bitumus

August 15 2010 – back to everyone's favourite location, the longest and roomiest track we have. No need for tacky commentary, the pics and film speak for themselves...

Eventually it was time to pack up and go for breakfast...

And, being the last race of the season, there were trophies... unique, handmade and to be treasured for evermore...

There are lots of weird animals in Australia, but this thing trotted up to the BBQ and I have no idea what the hell it is...

Official results:

1. Kymbo
2. This-a-Way
