	<description>Home of the Tobacco Advocacy Racing Program (f/k/a Toxic Asset Racing Program)! Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale about the misfit owners of a derelict Toyota MR2 and their mostly ill-informed attempts to un-derelict the car in an almost certainly futile attempt to enter it into an endurance race.</description>

		<description><![CDATA[Got back yesterday from the Sears Pointless trip at Infineon. In a word, it was awesome. I don&#8217;t have videos or photos of the car in action (yet), but should have some soon. There are lots of stories to tell but I&#8217;m still too worn out to document them. Here&#8217;s a picture of the team [...]]]></description>

So I guess I haven&#8217;t posted much lately and I didn&#8217;t really realize it until I posted about Infineon the other day.
I&#8217;ve been working sporadically on cleaning up the new/used engine that will go in the car. I&#8217;m hoping to have it done sometime around late March or early April. What with the new baby [...]]]></description>

Thus, the official name of the race is &#8220;Sears Pointless.&#8221; We are driving with my friend Paul and his Stick Figure Racing MR2 team (of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ok, here are 2 designs that I&#8217;ve come up with for the back of the Infineon t-shirt. I&#8217;m still working on the front design but I wanted to get some votes on which back is better. We&#8217;ll refer to them as Draft 1 and Draft 2. I&#8217;ve got them showing on white t&#8217;s because those [...]]]></description>

We got our acceptance into the race earlier this week so now it&#8217;s time to start working on the car. Unfortunately for me (and probably fortunately for the Missus), the car is out in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over the weekend, Judge Murilee wrote a post for Jalopnik chronicling the penalties of the Yee-Haw It&#8217;s Texas LeMons. Of course, our haiku penalty made the photo-essay! For those who don&#8217;t know, when our second driver looped the car (this was before the first engine blew up), we got this penalty. Stevo and I had [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So here are some photos of the carnage that is the dead smallport motor. Based on these photos and some gripping narrative from yours truly, Senor Lamm agreed to give us a $75 residual value for the next race. So at least we can go out and get a motor for the car now. Enjoy [...]]]></description>
