Must See

School bus drag racing, bathtub racers and robot jockeys, today we hunt: RACY SPORTS.

10. Bus driver by day, drag racer by night. Next time you use public transit or put your kids on school bus, remember this video.

9.  Want all the thrill of racing without the speeding tickets? Get a racing simulator in the comfort of your own home.

8.  The Citroen is a replica of the game Gran Turismo 5’‘s swank racecar. This ride has taken a video game fantasy and made it a reality for car and game-lovers alike.

7. This racecar by Austrian company KTM will have the babes getting out of your dreams, and instead, into your car. Oh yeah.

6. The Idiotarod in NYC is a race to the checkout. Contestants all race shopping carts through an insane course. It’s sort of like a dog-sled team with the munchies.
5. PUMA entered the “Ill Monstro” into the Volvo Ocean Race of 2008/2009. Translated from it’s native language to English, Ill Monstro roughly means pretty freakin’ fast boat.

4. Ever tried to race a vacuum cleaner? How about a leaf blower? Well, these fine folks did and the result was some kickass crashes, raging fires and some hillbilly-tastic competitions.

3. Bathub racers are one way to play dirty while keeping clean. Not exactly the most intimidating rides.…

2. The Annual Bring Your Own Big Wheel event on San Francisco’’s Lombard Street is the Indy 500 of tryke racing.  Even though the bikes are meant for toddlers, this competition is strictly for the big boys.

1.  Just when you thought jockeys couldn’t get any smaller, they’‘ve invented a robot jockey prototype that can whip, steer and send voice commands to it’s race camel. Imagine strapping this little device to your kid sister…
