The Babe Rally is a beater car rally from the Big Apple to the Big Eazy(BA BE) or from New York to New Orleans. It takes place over Memorial weekend and the main rule is that your car can not have cost over $250.... www.baberally.com
I just bought a 1990 VW Fox this saturday for $250 for this rally..... it is a true POS.....
Good luck! I think there are a few on the pointy board registering too.
Sounds fun... pics of the beater please.
I will take some this afternoon in all its glory..... there are actually two $250 miata's in the rally which is pretty wild....
Who are your co-drivers?Quote:

So far the team is myself and a buddy here in town named Josh. I am reserving judgement about the car's viability until I hear it run.... hehehe I think we are gonna take the week off before the rally and do a little sight seeing.... who knows at this point. If i could figure a cheap way to ship it to NY I would....
Cant wait to hear the story and see pics!Quote:

Yeah, especially the BABES!!!!!!!!!!!
I surprised cheap rallies like these still exist with gas prices so high. Just driving to Albuquerque and back took a bite out of my wallet.
Filling the gas tank increases the rally cars' values by 25%!!!!Quote:

The starter is in route and we will see if she is a runner...

Looking at the 8th picture, I see that you brought POS Racing with you.
Thats a nice mohair t-shirt that guy is wearing.
That's Big Foot. With the price of gas he is going back to walking.
In pic #4 I like the easy access to oil and water.
