Dangerous Banned Racing Tech: Jet Engine Part 1

The ultimate in Dangerous Banned Racing tech, the Jet engine. While the reasons this is Dangerous happens to also be the reason banned and really aren't that difficult for anyone to figure out. These reasons also mean there is no way this would ever pass tech inspection. Not passing tech inspection does not mean you won't still win the award.

Any way here are a few links. The first two are instructions on building a jet engine from a turbo charger. The last is a jet built from a turbo mounted on a go kart going 50 mph

Also an important part of a well balanced breakfast

A new Race Car has been devoloped for Formula 3 that uses chocolate for fuel, carrots for a steering wheel, soybeans for a seat, potatoes for mirrors and brakes made from cashews. Oddly enough the car doesn't just run but it looks like they plan on racing it next year. Now if they can figure out a way to include a steak or chicken it sounds like it would make a good meal too.

Dangerous Banned Racing Tech: Training Wheels

Nothing says newb like training wheels.

Of course besides pointout out we are newbs it would stop us from flipping or even rolling over a certain amount, the metal strucure would probably take out the tires of the first person to try and sideswipe us, not that we would do that on purpose....
