Okay you guys, enough of this trash talk! You know that Team Minimom is going to win! Afterall, Cometgirl is known as the "cone Killer" in autocrossing and I was voted "Rookie of the Year" so there!

Wow, we're bordering on the limits of moderation here, hehheh.

In the event of a tie, whoever has the least cones knocked down will win. So best be careful!

Oh we will have suits, but they won't be made of swiffer! Think bobsled team ...

Some of my employees did a test run of the slalom today - and we ran creepers down a hill (the Bones kept rolling when they hit the grass & dirt! The Bone-ster I was on stopped luckily). Slalom works great. Trying to decide whether or not the riders will be allowed to help steer. It's harder than it looks, as the creepers get rolling fast and become hard to control, since all 4 wheels turn.

Remember, that 150 lb guy will also have to push the 235 pounder. It's not the factor of being hard to push, but the extra momentum. Form a game plan ahead of time!

Okay, so it says there are 2 team spots left, but there are only 13 signed up, with a total of 16 possible. This math isn't working for me. Is there an invisible team or something?

Well, luckily for those who don't win, they can still buy creepers from me at any time at the dragon. Bones & Rough Riders are backordered now though (can't build them fast enough!) We luckily have a stock of Bone-sters set aside for just such an occasion!
