Crippler Survivor Comments

"It is a primitive piece of equipment, right? But when I hit the throttle I knew I looked like a little girl. And I wanted at this point was my wife to hold me and tell me I was safe!"
Dan Lacy

“My first acceleration run was in the wimp mode (only half the available power) in the parking lot of a motel near the Thunderhill Race track. I wasn’t twenty yards into the run when I realized I needed to pay attention cuz I was hauling’ ass. What the hell was this thing going to do with full power? I made my way to the back side of the hotel and put it to full power, I should have called my wife to tell her I loved her but I flipped the switch and pulled on the throttle (no one has accused me of being too smart when it comes to driving something fast). All I can say is thank god for the wheelie bar.”
Dan McKeever

The scariest most dangerous piece of wheeled motorized equipment to move a human from point A to Point B. The thing is called a THE CRIPPLER for good reason! But boy does it provide an adrenaline rush, just the kind of toy every gear head needs.

“What is the big deal? This is just a Wal-Mart looking cart for god’s sake! Oh my, was I wrong!! I cruised on down the paddock at Road Atlanta on The Crippler. The next thing I remember is sitting in Cindi's race trailer shaking profusely asking for water....like I had been unconscious for an hour....then it all came back to me. I hit the damn button and the little three wheeler became a one wheeled rocket, one wheel on the ground!

I then convinced my friend Mitch, nuclear submarine guy, hot rod guy, to give it a try. He got on it, nailed it thru the grass and trees, we didn’t see him for 30 minutes or so...then he came back, got off, said he would rather play hide and go seek with Russian subs than ride that bitch again!”
