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.
That must be one fast wheelbarrow your sportin. Whats all done to it.

I'll donate our parkinglot for the race if modmans neighbours shut us down. We even have a nice ashphalt jump that the spectators will love.

My neighbours will not shut us down - one has threatened to sue the other and called the cops, one left for Australia the other day, one I have never even spoken to, and the other two will probably join us for the race :D

this is pretty much a standard saturday afternoon in my alley.

The parking lot would be nice though, that way when people fall they will get some wicked road rash scars to keep as a momento and we could race 10 at a time, mass start!

this is what I built for the kid when he was born (10 years ago) dont let the 4 link rear end and the IFS fool you! it is only as fast as I could pull it lol. give me a few weeks to train and Im in for the race lol! I will make sure the battery is all charged up for the neon lights (this adds big power lol) but can only race at night..........I think Im good for a 2 min 1/4 mile!

is there a Hand built Mod class?

I have a sweet 2 wheel furniture dolly with weather checked flat tires, chrome valve steam caps, a hockey tape grip handle for more responsive steering and a slighty bent axle with a wobble that goes away with long strides.
I should get the neighbours kids to custom paint it........something a little lucky charmish.....

Pink Slips??

Well, here it is....... My slightly modded, but rusty class wheel barrow, complete with high performance accessories......... Hope it passes tech and makes the qualifiers..... I'm practising on the timing lite tree already

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.

i have a keyboard :d
