Yugo, No go, You'll no Stop



One of the best things about this rally is the spirit of the road and helping out your fellow motorist. On the way back we were flagged down by team In Glue We Trust's Stephen and Aaron who's Yugo ran out of gas. We were only more than happy to help.
Earlier in the week, we pulled over in the Blue Ridge mountains to let the engine cool down for a while with the hood up. I was amazed that every BABE rally competitor behind us stopped to check on us, while almost every person on the road did not even care.

Thanks Advance in Harrisonburg VA


I would like to say thank you to the employees of the Advance Auto Parts Store in Harrisonburg Virginia. They were some of the most helpful people who let up work on the car in the parking lot and wash up in the back. Great service! Thank you!

The craziest vehicle



One of the best vehicles came from Team Triangle. It was a ice racing Honda CRX that was rear ended and the owner cut off the bent metal and welded on a square tubing structure that used a swing arm to mount a third wheel.
He did run into trouble on the New Jersey Turnpike when a Brown SUV driver thought he was being harassed by Team Triangle when they were taking a picture for digital camera snooker. The harassed driver can be seen in the picture. Does he look like someone famous? Anyways, Team Triangle had a long talk with the Cops who could only site the team for a broken windshield.
