Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The race features a variety of uniquely themed go-karts, highlighting the creativity of the DIY aspect. These include: a brown 'Mystery Machine' style van (which later sheds its body during a race, to the presenter's dismay), a 'Clyde Torkle's Chicken Pit' NASCAR-style car (inspired by the movie 'Smokey and the Bandit' or similar stock car themes), a 'Rusty Wallace Miller Genuine Draft' #2 car, a blue 'STP' #43 car, a 'Coca-Cola' #12 car, an Indy-style race car, and a 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' themed car. The TMNT car's owner explains his inspiration came from the classic arcade game and cartoon. The 'Chicken Pit' owner jokes about the discomfort of driving his custom kart, comparing himself to '10 pounds of sausage in a 5-pound bag.' This segment showcases the diverse and often humorous customizations that make the event unique.

to change anything. Don't need to do it. Over here in the stock car pen, we got Rusty Walrus. This cart looks like it's exactly the same as ours. Same frame. Must have come from the same place. And this one's Richard Petty. Also, same thing. Yeah, Midwestern Industries. That's what mine says. Mine's longer though. Glad we got a long one. Oh my god. It's Clyde Tol's Chicken Pit. Fastest chicken in the South. The good movie. That's hilarious. Oh, he even painted the tire letters on there. That's fantastic. That's my favorite one here. Look at the back. I'm going take a wild guess that you're the chicken pit guy. Yeah. You're Bert Reynolds today. Yeah. Well, I'm Bert Reynolds today. Yeah. I got the helmet. I got the goggles. You got the goggles. I got the goggles. You got to put them on. You got to put them on. Got to have the goggles. Oh, wow. He went all out. Yeah. Oh, you got real bubble goggles. The real bubble goggles. Yeah. All right. We got to keep an eye out for him to go. Yeah, this is this is fantastic, dude. We got the best car here, dude. Yes. Yeah, it's not the fastest, but it might win best in show. I don't know. Like, this is just for the sake of the whole ensemble. I really like the way ours looks, but I don't have bubble goggles. I'm telling you what, if I could have organized a feather suit, I would have totally been cool. Yeah. I got a kid in Kentucky who's got another T-Ird body and I'm trying to talk him out of it to uh to make the pluck chicken car too to kind of have them as a match set. Oh my god, that's great. Yeah, but it's it's not comfortable to drive. Is that like a work or like a lawnmower seat? Yeah, that's a tractor supply seat. And when I sit in this, it looks like uh 10 lbs of 5 lb box. So, you want to sit in it? Is there is there a process to get in? help me back out, but I'll help you again. Okay, we had to peel him out of there. Oh my god, it's miserable. Like my 10-year-old all day long, he can get in and out. No big deal. Hey, you know, he's going to school say, "My dad is the coolest dad ever." Yeah, there's a difference between 75 lb and 275 lb. He's going to tell all his friends his dad has a a chicken pit go-kart from Stroker Races. Kids are going to be like, "I don't know anything about that." Yeah, they have no idea. I watch dumb stuff like Peppa Pig and whatever kids watch nowadays. Cocaine. Yeah. That's the worst one. Oh yeah, that is legendary. Well, they're not quite all the way in there yet. Oh, you even got…
