Current Goal

The race was run along the lines of the Daytona 500.
Except there were only 4 cars.
They could travel anywhere in the World, not just the Daytona circuit.
And the race lasted a year, not just 500 miles.
Apart from that they were just the same !

The race started on 4th April 2010 in Devon and ended on 31st March 2011 with only 1 of the 4 cars still in action.

Grab It (Not from a Cache) 8/15/2010 Moonpie10 grabbed it   Visit Log

Got this one from Bocco because he found out we were going on the road and could put a couple of miles on the tires of this racer. It will be a couple of weeks but the move should help your cause some.

I brought this car across the Atlantic and after a brief stop at home (in West Virginia), it headed to the MGS Summer picnic with me. Handed it off to the Boccos. Next stop for it is hopefully much further west! :)

Was at Mega Scotland this morning when several cachers came up to me and asked if I'd take this one across the Atlantic with me. I was happy to oblige. I'll definitely give it some miles, and find a good cache to move it along to soon. :)
