How A $500 Craigslist Car Beat $400K Rally Racers

Saw this awesome story on Jalopnik and had to post it. Wasn't sure if it fit here, in cars or sports -- but whatever. It's awesome.

This gives me hope that I can do the same eventually. I mean, I've always thought of LeMons and everything -- but doing pretty much the same thing and competing in the WRC?

Comment from the link:

GENTLEMEN (and ladies), IMPORTANT NEWS. I HAVE FOUND CASWELL'S RESULTS.

The class he raced in is simply called Rally America. You can find the results (in PDF form, by stage) at www.rallymexico.com. It's under the results tab on the navigation bar.

The most epic duo of all of Jalop-dom achieved a total time of 5:29:38.4 after penalties. Enough for a 3rd in the Rally America class, and a hypothetical 23rd if he was really racing in WRC.

I will have you know that 25 drivers competed in the WRC class at Rally Mexico. Yes, Caswell and Slocum didn't just compete with $400k race cars, THEY BEAT THEM.

These two men are champions of the entire goddamn racing world.
