Just like the title says... you can track our team as we attempt to race a 1970 VW Beetle against the brutal Nevada desert. Race is Saturday, we go off at the ass-cracka. We ain't fast, but we're awesome. Thought some of you guys might wanna check it out.

If you don't know, The Mint 400 is one of the oldest off-road races in this country. And the new version is also one of the more demanding. This is the race that Hunter S. Thompson was assigned to cover in his book Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. It's kind of a big deal, and we're pretty stoked to race it.

Oh hells bells. I was just looking at it earlier today and thinking "Man... we should really update this thing!" but at least it was working at the time. Wait a minute... here's something weird. I linked to a secure site (https) above, needs to not be that. Just regular http:// sorta deal and it's all good.

So anytime you weld the car back together and keep going, it's a good effort. Just too bad those welds the random Aussies did on the side of the road to get us back in it didn't hold... It was a good effort and tons of fun. We'll be back.

 

[SkaredShtles]

And now for the ether??

Probably should have gone with the Vincent Black Shadow instead of the buggy.

There's no motorbike class at the Mint 400, unfortunately.

 

[Tom Ritchey's Moustache]

Pffft .... try telling that to Raoul Duke ...

How many welds do you guys have left to go over again? I mean, there can only be so many welds on the car, right?

 

[Full Trucker]

There are all the welds, no more and no less.
