    So the SFCC challenged the world famous Road Kings to a soapbox derby race. I hope they can collectively get enough weight in huevos to take us on.

    http://www.myspace.com/downhillchallenge

    I also heard through the grapevine that the Odd Rods have a few cars together. Apparently they need to hedge their bets to win.

    Us: We are just building a good old fashioned bad ass soapbox derby car. Just 1! It's been held under wraps since just the sight of it would send lesser car clubs running with their cam shafts between their legs.

    We know the Odd Rods are bringing a full nascar style race team to insure they have enought attempts. kinda like bring to friends to afterschool fight at the swingset to me.

    We don't know about the RK's. They have been really slow to reply to emails. If fact I never actually got a reply! So did the RK's man up and build a car? Did they decide to take there loss by forfeiting. I hope they did since they came up with the idea of a walk of shame for the losers.

    I don't know about y'all but I would rather lose trying, not talkin.

    So bring it guy's because the next 12 month 'til the next one is gonna be rough. Don't think that us Jester's will hesitate to call the local kings a bunch of PUHHHHHHHHHH's

    Bullshit!
     
  13. All video cameras, surveilance equipment, reporters, and Road Kings or Odd Rods spies have been banned from the SFCC Skunkworks test track.
    The race is Saturday the 15th.
    There are 64 cars entered! :eek:
    I'm sure there will be plenty of mayhem coverage next Monday:D
     
  14. WOW! I didn't think your car would tow it that fast.

    Did you build it out of a wheelbarrow so that you use it to haul parts that fall off back to your truck?

    Worried?? Why?

    That dont have ceramic bearings. Or 220 PSI 700x18C Time trial tires OR Aero Disc bicycle wheels. they dont have Bladed titanium spokes, alloy nipples, or Double butted 4130 chromoly tubes. I know for a FACT they dont have AVID ULTIMATE hydraulic disc brakes!

    Why are you worried?

    Oops, did I just give that away? Sorry RK's, yer gonna get smoked.

    Cheers and Beers
