I’m guessing Paris and McDreamy gave this one a pass too.

One of the cars runs of vegetable oil. Apparently the boot around the left rear axle CV joint was cracked when it arrived in H’burg. As of this afternoon, it was fixed and they’re back on the road.

I wonder if any local media outlets will cover this next year. If the mayor in a soapbox racer makes the front page of the paper, I’m thinking the BABE rally is at least worth a mention, if not some photographs.

Yeah, I have a few friends that could have entered that… or the RoCo Fair demo derby.

Speaking of cars, I just saw a ZipCar on Main Street with DC plates.

Thanks for the welcome. Hburg was a super stop for us, the best western car park was a nice focal point for the evening, and the local stores were convenient for topping up on the essentials: oil, ducktape and baling wire.

Send me some pics of your car – I’m already looking for next year’s entry :-)

Thanks for stopping by, Gausie.

If I remember, I’ll try to find you guys next year, and actually meet a few of you.

That would be super and I’m sure we’ll make you most welcome. I’ll try to remember to remind you. Babe rally stopped at Harrisonburg Best Western last year too – also on the Thursday before memorial weekend.
