This is so cool. Also, I read about the Carrera Panamericana and that is excellent. In the first year though, the guy with no mechanical knowledge won the race straight up on luck. He didn't know what he was doing if the car broke, and ran it into the ground so hard that he finsihed without any oil in the engine. Balls to the wall for sure. In an Olds 88

Dude, right?! Automotive racing is full of awesome stories of bravery, stupidity, ingenuity, animosity, and just balls ass craziness. Though, when you mix thrill seekers, rule breakers, engineers and tinkerers, and people with more money than they know what to do with, that kind of awesomeness is inevitable.
