Brother Skeets and his wife took some time off in Mexico to recuperate. While down there, he had time to get involved with a little project that ended up with him driving in a race... Hey! He was only "sitting." What could possibly go wrong? The "hemmit-cam" is amazing...

And they are on wooden wheels! Notice the smoke when they mash the big brake pedal? Must be a friction brake off the wheel, ala' Fred Flintstone. Spinning was the only option or the wheels would catch fire.

They musta been hitting 75-80mph at spots and an easy 60-70 through town at the end. Insane.

I kept thinking he could catch up if he just had some wedged fins on the center of his shoes. His feet become constant brakes.

The dude with the Go-Pro could have went faster if he'd tied his shoe laces tighter....:D

He keeps tapping the brake bar. Stand on it too hard and your wheels catch fire with a likelihood your whole cart will be aflame by the time you get to the bottom of the hill. Small risk but part of the macho factor for those that survive.
