I’ve been sitting back and watching with great amusement as the stories from Arse-Freeze-Apalooza have unraveled here on Autofiends. I’m kicking myself for not taking up Jay and Jonny’s invite to hang out and even jump in a seat for some of the race. And judging by some of the videos and discussions that are still ongoing, you all had a great time. But, it seems that our kissing cousins up north have potentially one-upped the LeMons with their Autoquad St Ferdinand. The equipment looks similar but they are racing in the dirt, with jumps, rubbing is most certainly racing and it looks like at the end they have some kind of requirement to make the crap heaps burst into flame. Our bet too is that rather than do battle Forum Boy style with words and videos, they probably throw down properly in the pits after the race to settle any “disputes.” Tipster Connor, who brought this to our attention, is suggesting maybe a “LeMonte Carlo” stage rally as return fire. What do you think, Jay? Video after the jump…

In Vermont we call that field racing, but we leave the video cameras at home. In fact, I’ve never heard of it, plus, it never happened.
Bah, real men go to the Czech Republic and do RODEOCROSS! See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWbYwOSPjH8
Did anyone notice that they didn’t even have cages or racing harnesses? It’s just a “trash what you brung” event. I suppose we’re all too litigious and not backwoods enough to disregard our safety THAT much.
Yeah, you gotta love the ungloved passenger hands out the window hanging onto the roof. Must be they’re such pansies nobody’s actually rolled yet.

For the last 2 years it was 300 cars in 2 days on the tracks in differents classes (4-6-8 cyl, pickup 4×4) and actually it is a lot of fun to beat the crap out of thoses cars then selling it to scrap metal (but you got races points and money too so it’s classy)
By the way no pansies here! Just backwood rough riding Quebecers racing with calcium-holed “trashed-up” cars. So YEAH maybe you’re not backwood enough to enjoy that kind of ride THAT much …. but anyway I got a roll cage and an fire extinguiser inside my 86 Pontiac Parisienne! Just in case! And yeah they beat you up for real in the pits, not on some forums or whatever… computers geeks!
So see ya next year!
