Between Joey's 100 mph Phazer and LHF's 4 sec Porsche, I figure my wheelbarrow stands a chance. I'll take a vid of it sitting against the fence just to show you how fast it looks. I just put new rubber on it, and moved the wheel up to the front bolt (the wheelbarrow equivalent of a drop and roll). Thinking of adding some Monster stickers to gain some HP. The other day I raced a homeless guy with his shopping cart and I blew his doors off so I'm feeling pretty confident.

So...I'm putting my wheelbarrow up against anybody's junk, you bring it and I'll race ya. Fridge, car, office chair, pool table, whatever, I'll race ya with my 'barrow. Not sure if I'm gonna sit in the wheelbarrow or push it, depends on if you wanna go pink slips or just loser buys the beer.

Race is arm drop start, 100 ft in my back alley on gravel.

My Barrow has the 'flat tire' mod. You stand no chance.

Feel free to back out now.

Mine's the team green model from Home Desperate. It had the flat tire mod which is why it got new rubber. It's also got a sweet "old crusty cement that didn't get washed out" theme going on inside the tub.

It can haul some serious weight but still wouldn't be able to haul your mom's fat ass around! :D (obligatory smack talking pre-qualifies you to enter the race without paying the entry fee and releases you from signing the liability waiver :D)

OK, we will all need to post pics of our 'barrows now.

Hang on, are these barrows going to be loaded with dirt or empty? Could be an unfair advantage, either way make sure reg'd and insured or the po po just might pull you over and issue a mit full of tickets.......



They have to keep up the 111 million budget windfall.

I'm in with a 4 wheel dolly. It can ride upright or down on all fours. Two rubber wheels with GOLD rims. Fricken thing rolls so nice it once blew off my deck with a full load of firewood. Bring it!

Already called the police, told them to show up because we are gonna need their radar gun to clock official speeds, probably break a few land speed records as well.

My 'barrow will be hauling an ice filled cooler to keep the beer cold.

If someone shows up with say....a keyboard, and wants to race me, I might just forfeit the race, sit in my 'barrow at the start line and drink cold beer. If you are the keyboard racer, you will be welcome to join me and we'll call it a draw.

LMAO @ watercooler!

Yes, anything is legal.

I'd ask u if u think the beer might slow you down but I've seen you drink. I figure the watercooler should be empty by 1/2 track anyway. No sandbagging there buddy (I said sandbagging, not teabagging - teabagging is allowed).
