The Slayers racing story

A buddy of mine works graveyard shifts in a warehouse all by his lonesome. So one night he got this feeling and called me up for a race. I head over to the warehouse and we line em up. We counted down and left at the same time. This race was way to close for me so I opened the propane valve a little more and boy did that forklift come alive. 5 MPH of fury I tell ya.

Just kidding

As a guy who worked in a warehouse setting many long years ago, let me assure you this is not funny - but a deadly serious sport. We had class racing and was working on a trophy system until some fool (not me this time) turned a tug on it's side practicing power slides.

A. I worked for Ames a long time ago, and one of the jobs they had use do was to use a fork lift to lift the old counters as high off the ground as we could and then drop to the ground to break them up. (I loved this job ) The cool par was the fork lift they gave us had no brakes and we were doing this in a dumpster slope. talk about dangerous.


B. When I was like 12, me and my freind would help mow each others lawn, but I rigged up my Snapper to blow away his Deer. Plus the Snapper could do wheelies.

C. Dialup suck but I think I heard of that saftey video.
