BABE Rally 2007

The 2007 Big Apple to the Big Easy Rally (BABE) is in the books. The BABE rally is simple, buy a $250 car and drive it from New York to New Orleans. Misfit Toys Racing won 1st place, Queen and Country came in 2nd place, and 2 More Mistfits for 3rd place. The Rickety Van team got Biggest Pile of Crap award.
Last year, I competed in the BABE here is my blog on the event. I wrote an article in BRAKE & FRONT END’s July 2006 issue, here is the story. Automobile Magazine is doing a story on the 2007 rally in their September issue; here is a news item about it. It is nice to scoop the big magazines a year in advance.
I skipped this year's BABE to compete in an even more idiotic event, The 24 Hours of Lemons in Flat Rock, MI. It is another simple event where you race a $500 car around a track for 24 hour while being pelted with lemons, brilliant!
