Hey Link!
I saw a billboard for this just this past week. No kidding, it reminded me of the end of season races we would have at Loveland Ski Area. Sliding down the hill on a car hood....out of control. Young and stupid :roll:

So that is Chris, Big Mike and Kip Book that I am putting down for an appearance. Right?

Who else wants to witness the lunacy? :D

Building & driving "The Yellow Submarine" racer this year. Entered as "The 5th Dentist" team at the Seattle race last year - speedwise, we came in 2nd (by less than 1/2 second), but lost on "Style" points. Dirt cheap to enter, good prizes if you win, good braindead fun whether you win or not.

The frame is braindead as well, rolls nicely, dead stable, and the brakes are terrible. The haybales solved that problem after the finish line last year. The crowd loved that.

Probably the last time I do this (have other projects that need to get done, such as a racebike), but it should still be a fun day.

Warning: You don't want to hit on Yoko Ono when you're there.....
