Glad to see this is going to happen again this year. I really had a good time watching last year.

thick leather gloves might be in order for the racers...unless you want road rash on your hands.

Can't use your hands, only the plunger! People got hurt last year by using their hands, so this year they will not be allowed.

Stupid question here. Are the creepers supplied? Or do we bring our own?

Is it just me or does this event remind anyone of recurring nightmares? The dream usually starts out great and I'm in a fast car feeling great. Then before I know it, I'm pushing a skateboard up hill, wake up tired and pissed off lol: ooooo...I know it's probably just me but this event gives me the creeps...pun intended

There aren't any pictures. Last year it was 2 person teams, with one person pushing the other on the creeper. This year will be different. 1 Person with a plunger as motivation.

Sit on Creeper, plunger in hand, like an oar in a row boat. Place plunger head on ground as though you were unclogging a toilet and push. Steer around a set of cones on a slight hill.

Thanks lilredscoot! For some dense reason, I thought it involved dragging our MINIs forward by pullin' up a vine or rope hahahaaa... had no idea how a plunger would even help with out here.

I gotta hand it to my mind...
