"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former" -- Albert Einstein
Let it never be said that common sense got in the way of a good time. In testament to this pearl of wisdom, DraftMasters Motorsports is fielding its first ever entry in the Big Apple to Big Easy (B.A.B.E.) Rally - Project EZ. Just what is a B.A.B.E. Rally, you ask? The official details may be found here, but, in short, the idea is to take a vehicle, valued at less than $500, and successfully navigate it from New York City to New Orleans in five days - covering a distance of some 1,500 miles. Of course, said vehicle has to be able to pass all safety inspections from its state of origin, but that still leaves a great deal of room for "creative license".
Speed is not a factor (assuming that any of these vehicles can approach a posted limit). Rather, team standings are based upon the ability of a given team to arrive at each evening's destination and how many challenges (think scavenger hunt) they manage to complete along the way. In the posts that follow, we will introduce you to the illustrious members of the Project EZ team and will keep you updated as to the progress, or lack thereof, of our preparations. Thank you so very much for taking the time to join us in our maiden voyage!
