About This Item

The NEW Red Racer!

RELAUNCHED 3/16/06 - Red Racer is back! We were unable to find the same model car Ryan used before, so here is the new Red Racer, mk 2! Ryan is 5 now, and anxious to see how far he gets this time. Thanks for helping!

ORIGINAL Description: Hi, I am Ryan's "Red Racer" TB! Ryan is my owner - he is 3 years old at the time of this launch. He and I have been racing all over the house, and now I'm ready to travel on my own! I have been turned into a travel bug so that Ryan and the rest of the 'Noles family can see the world through my adventures - I'm ready to go anywhere you'll take me, and would love for you to take some pictures along the way. Thanks for helping me along!

    Grab It (Not from a Cache) 3/24/2005 FSU*Noles grabbed it   Visit Log

    Alas, the Red Racer has suffered a fateful end - after just 14 miles, the very first cacher to grab him has e-mailed us to let us know she lost him. We will re-launch this one with a copy tag soon, hopefully to live a much longer life...
    Retrieve It from a Cache 6/12/2004 jillibob retrieved it from Yes Virginia, there is a Cache Minnesota   Visit Log

    The red racer is zooming west where it could get a little salty! 🤕 While looking for it I fell in the mud and gained many scratches! Wasn't allowed in house except to change! Swam in lake to clean off!
