Here he comes
Here comes Bar Racer
He's a drunk on wheels
He's a drunk and he's gonna be chasin' after someone
He's gainin' on you
So you better look alive
He's busy revvin' up the powerful Stool 5
And when the odds are against him
And there's dangerous work to do
You bet your life Bar Racer will see it through
Go Bar Racer
Go Bar Racer
Go Bar Racer, GO!
He's off and puttaerin'
As he guns the stool around the track
He's jammin' down the pedal
Like he's never comin' back
Drinks waitin' just ahead
Go Bar Racer
Go Bar Racer
Go Bar Racer, GO!

In other news, motorized bar stool DUI accidents have increased 800% in the past year.
"The bar stool carnage on our streets must end," warned a source from the local police department. "Anyone convicted of driving bar stools while intoxicated will be prosecured to the fullest extent of the law."
In prison, these maniacs will find fellow inmates who are more than willing to 'drive in their stools'"

The site claims that some of the gas-powered stools run up to 50 mph!
With the small footprint that these babies have, I wonder how many of the builders consider the problem with a tight turning radius on a VERY top-heavy cart (the site also claims this a 'sport for the overweight') at 50 mph.
I have a very vivid mental image of one of these turning at that speed, and it don't look fun.
On another note, I can't resist:
Get pulled over on one of these and you'll likely have to take a breath-alyzer and give a STOOL SAMPLE.
Excuse me, I simply love a bad pun.

"...the new and fascinating sport of bar stool racing."
Sorry, my hometown newspaper, the Austin-American Statesman (Texas), published a story about bar stool races back in 1976 or so (when I was in high school).
Fascinating, yes. New? Not by a long shot.
What we need is a good forum on that new-fangled thing, the "compact disk".

Some of my old friends from Duquesne and I would get together, toss back a few drinks (we tended to pass a bottle of vodka, whisky, and rum in turn). Afterwards, we would engage in the dangerous sport of Dormatory Dolly Racing.
Dormatory Dolly Racing (DDR) involves standing on the thin piece of sheet metal that bears the load to be moved. You then lean forward some and try to kick yourself down the hall up to a speed where you can roll without propulsion. Then the trick is to balance it without falling forwards. Needless to say, we had many bloody knuckles after these games.
When it finally sank into our drunken heads that balance was difficult while intoxicated, we engaged in a subtly different variety: Dormatory Dolly Tobogganing. That was a killer on the knees...

Man,
Lighten up and stop faulting people for having different interests.
At least these people have a hobby they care about and can share. I bet these people are quite passionate about their form of racing. As serious as it needs to be for safety, it is also very much about having fun and the bringing together of two great passtimes...drinking with your buds and pushing limits! It probably started as a joke and look what it has become!
I wish I had the time and know-how to do something like this!

Also featured on tonight's news: A Prominent citizen of San Francisco has expressed concern about how speeding bar stools on the sidewalks can mercilessly mow down senior citizens and pedestrians. He said that he will consider writing to the mayor to ban bar stools from straying outside his favourite hangout.
On further investigation we found that the said citizen "John Doe" was an avid slashdotter and his comments were based on the code of the slashdotters: "Thou shalt comment without reading the article". On reading the webpage Mr Doe grinned and said "Oh er em, those bar stool racers, sounds kinda cool huh?"

I mean, seriously though! They make clothes that (they are called "armors," btw) that will take that kind of abuse and have you come out scratch free.
On the motorcycle side of things, people routinely walk away (bruised, but not seriously harmed otherwise) when they go out of control riding in the lower three digits. And a barstool is what, fastest at 45mph?
I mean, I see them people sitting on the stools, mostly wearing clothes they would go to a bar with - that's suicidal! there is a reason why there are body armors out there, and yes they do work (granted, a few grand for a nice riding suit)
Then again, maybe it's just a way to eliminate people from the gene pool.

So, I suppose its part of the rules that you must drink and drive?
