The Barstool Racers
     
    The infamous racing barstools.  These things are way too cool.  Pretty simple really, just a Toyota starter or two, a 12 volt battery, a Ford solenoid, and some gocart parts.  They used wheels off those two wheel dollys.  I want one!

The "rules" of this sport have to be seen to be believed. 
According to the racers, there are six rules of bar stool racing: 
The "Official" Rules of Barstool Racing
      1.  It must be or look like a bar stool. 
      2.  21" Maximum wheelbase. 
      3.  21" Maximum overall width. 
      4.  30" Minimum seat height. 
      5. 12 Volts maximum voltage. 
      6.  "There are no more f***ing rules." (This is an official rule!)
