Story
- Season 1: was all about getting our hands on any car and getting it working, of course, we picked an
Automatic '97 Toyota Avalon. - Season 2: our first real race, and of course we decided the
25:01 Thunderhillwas the right place to get started. - Season 3: we took the
'97 Avalonto Sonoma and crashed hard into the wall, ending our race early. The car was finished, but not the team. - Season 4: was our come back evolution, and we really gave it everything. An all new manual car, jackets, telemetry, and a giant weekend party.
- Season 5: To be announced :)
