The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
A New York City subway train holds 1,200 people. This blog was viewed about 6,800 times in 2011. If it were a NYC subway train, it would take about 6 trips to carry that many people.

Thanks to a very generous BABE rallier deciding to donate double the amount pledged, plus a few other post-Rally donations, the team’s total amount raised for the American Diabetes Association and March of Dimes in the 2011 BABE Rally has now exceeded $3,500!!!
Thanks again to our corporate sponsors (Allpar.com, North Georgia Mopar Club, Polybushings.com, Leverage Corporation), our in-kind sponsors Paul Chambers Mopar Restorations and Z-Alt, and all the very generous individuals who contributed so… er… generously… to these two worthy causes!

You get an aspiring BABE Rally movie, of course! See the brief but very entertaining trailer below. Alex has another 75GB of footage, so hopefully we have many more episodes to come.

Long a tradition on the European rallies, the infamous watergun fight finally comes to the states. On June 7, 2011, in a hotel parking lot in Harrisonburg, Virginia, twenty six teams (and a few unwitting bystanders) participated in the first annual BABE Rally watergun fight. Much water was spilled that day… and many will never forget the squeak of a charging watergun or the screams of discomfort as someone took a blast of cold water to the ear. Small children should probably leave the room before adults view this film. (The kids might get ideas, and the soundtrack by Enrico Marcone is somewhat creepy…)

Replacing a head gasket is a long and dirty job. On the BABE Rally, however, is it an excuse for a party. On Day 3 of the 2011 BABE Rally members of no fewer than six other teams jumped in to join the “fun” of replacing the head gasket on Team Two Horsemen of the Carpocalypse’s car (a 1973 Plymouth Valiant) and everyone else stopped by to watch and lend moral support. It was a long night, but a rewarding one in many ways. Thanks again to Misfit Toys Racing for driving 55 miles to deliver the head gasket and then doing a big part of the install, and to everyone else who helped.

They say “You can’t kill a Slant Six,” but apparently you can hurt one really badly. Despite an overnight head gasket change on Day 3, the team greeted Day 5 with the realization that the contents of the radiator was migrating to the oil pan in under a minute.
