Power Tool Drag Races

THEY SAID it couldn't happen. . .

THEY SAID it would never return. . .

THEY SAID it had run its course. . .

WE SAY


Hey doofus, pass the chili cheese fries and get me another beer.

After a brief hiatus as we burned through the INCREDIBLE, RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF TV MONEY furnished to us by our star turn on the Discovery Channel, after SEVERAL MONTHS OF NOTHING BUT SHAMEFULLY SORDID ACTIVITY and nights out with the Cristal in the Escalade with some really attractive people, the humble inhabitants of the PTDR bunker are back to bring YOU:

THE POWER TOOL DRAG RACES!!

THAT'S RIGHT SPORTSFANS,
SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY
MAY...ay...ay
7TH...th...th
2006...6...6
Noon until we are done
At the ACE INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY
San Francisco

It's the Power Tool Drag Races!

See Massive Milwaukees versus Devastating DeWalts! Porter Cable Drag Chutes on Sawzall chassis! Hardcore Black and Decker big-block action and inspired fits of Makita re-engineering! Junkyard hot dogs and cotton candy for the kids. OSHA-horrifying conditions in the pits for the kids over 18!

Yes friends, it's

POWER TOOL DRAG RACES!

Come one, come all, ladies and gentlemen, children of all ages START YOUR MOTORS!!!

Yes we realize it's short notice, but be COMFORTED in the fact that it will be TRIPLY IRRITATING for the EVENT's ORGANIZERS!

AND REMEMBER: It's Not Bad, It's Punk Rock.

Re: Power Tool Drag Races

I just got back from the event. I don't think it's over yet, but I had to leave.

It was great fun, and very exciting. It was well worth the price of admission.


Highlights-
Flaming teddy bear
Dodging flying telephones(not cordless)
Pie fight
Oh, and the racing.


Here's a shot of some of the crowd-
1280x960
