Dont let him in, he's gonna show up with a cart on coilovers with power steering and brakes.

pretty much anything is allowed ... i run 2" springs in an over sized shackle on the spindles (very basic) but functional

the last race was very close to you too! ... there are a couple hills around your area that we use... Most are very fast and used towards the end of the season to make sure the racers have a bunch of mellower runs under their belt before storming the streets of sussex.

If my back wasnt shot i would be there! that looks like a blast. I used to do that same thing in INdiana when i was younger. maybe when i am done with recovery and all that stuff i will give it another shot. the worst that ever happend to me when i did the on road soap box was broken ankle and several hundred dollars in fines hehe. cant be any worse then bronc riding for my back though and they said i would be able to do that again also. hehe. so i will have a year to design my cart hehe. i hope to be there next year.

Great times. I made it out to one as a spectator. Just can't seem to find the time to set up another run. Kids, work and toys.

Yeah, It was on Wreckcreation Nation last night, good show. This is too cool, we used to do this as kids (pre-teens). We built go-carts out of wood and raced them down the road in front of my parents house. We didn't need brakes back then, we just went into the neighbors yards.

Hmmm....I have a welder now....
