The key to winning these things is to lead with your butt. Driving straight into your opponent damages the engine/radiator of your car and can quickly disable you.
The monster station wagons of the 70’s, all 19 feet of them weighing in at ~5,000 lbs and sporting 440 cubic inch V8s (that’s over 7L for you kids), were the kings of this event.
I wonder what I was thinking here… I should have walked the 30 feet to the edge of the beach to get the shot without the cars in it. Oh well, at least now we get to see some ‘classic’ cars.
I wonder what those two in the Plymouth are up to? 😉
This was taken in 1993 at the annual King Richard’s Faire in Carver, Mass. I went down with a group of folks with whom I was playing Dungeon and Dragons. They went in costume, I, however, did not. I think that makes me the slightly more normal one. 😉
The person in the photo is _not_ in our group. ;-))
This shot was taken in front of our farm near Glenn, Michigan. I do have distinct memories of the lawn chairs and of the tricycle, of course. The trellis around the front door, not so much. 😉
