We’ve showcased many things over the years that simply shouldn’t belong on a dragstrip…be it golf cart, lawn mower, even a jet-propelled porta-potty. But this one just might be the most dangerous-looking contraption of all time to ever trip the beams on a strip. Found on the Kansas City International Raceway Facebook page, what you are looking at is a skateboard with a go-kart engine hooked to the back and some poor sucker on it, ready to make a pass down the strip. And this doesn’t look like a Briggs and Stratton-powered motor, either…that baby looks like it was lifted out of a shifter kart. There isn’t enough money in the world to pay us to even consider riding that thing, yet someone who isn’t Travis Pastrana looked at it and saw a chance to rise to glory. It’s ok, though: the Safety Safari team is on standby and is ready to assist the second this all goes wrong.
So for your Caption This, what is going through this guy’s mind, right now, as he sits on the line just about ready to hit the throttle?
Will I be covered by Obamacare if I get injured?
Really! We cant even have a car page to go to without some jackass trying to politicize it?
3.4 seconds, here I come.
Thank goodness I won’t have to change my doctor.
With all them burritos I had for lunch, hope there enough propulsion!
