Today we’ll be attending the most prestigious vehicle race in the world. You think that sound exciting, well just wait for the off-roading portion.

On this episode: we’ll take a look at the only car ever compared to a barbecue; we’re taking in the only sporting event in history that was later compared by the press to the holocaust; and you’ll hear about the first accidental public use of an unintentional horizontal guillotine.

Also, if you had been listening to this as a Patreon supporter, you would enjoy an additional 9 minutes where we discussed
the upper limits of human reaction time; you would get to meet America’s most physically damaged stuntman; you would also be treated to more Dodge Caravan Math than you could fly a rocket bike over; you would learn about a non-sexual, full body invisible burning phenomena; and on-topic, we will look at the history of strange ways people have died at today’s events, just in different years.

I start this episode with a quaint tale of surviving a highway crash in a Ford Pinto of all things, cover you in minced spectator, and by the end I am going to teach you the horrific fate of drug abuser and former hockey legend, Tim Horton. In the middle, I’m going to do my best to show you in every way possible how automotive racing is the most dangerous sport imaginable, and then why your daily commute is 1,000x duller and even deadlier. RIP my three dead cars.
