BABE Rallye

[spritenut]

2 teams of Spridget drivers (and regulars on the forum) are off on the BABE rallye. Big Apple to Big Easy like in New York to New Orleans and driving in a 69 and a 73 Midget.
Now picture 2 guys and a weeks worth of luggage along with tools, spares, computers, cameras, and snacks all packed into a Midget for a 4 day trip down and how ever long it takes to get back.
I wish them luck. Team ODoody (Organization of Spridget Handymen In Transit) and Team SU (Spridgets Unlimited) departed from Staten Island this morning. I was there to see them off, afterall, ODoody is driving MY 69 Midget.
I hear they made it to the first night's destination in Harrisonburg, VA. I have not heard from Team SU but no new is good news.

Here is a link to the pictures of what the car looks like.

Looks great. How did you get the car to qualify? I thought it had to be worth less $250.

You should have seen what it looked like when I bought it in Nov.

And after selling off some of the parts and spare engines, I MADE 80 bucks on the car. Just a fresh paintjob.

That makes it even better. I think this deserves a daily Babe Rallye update.
