Naschair Racer

Bristling with skis, the Rombach Industries X12 Next-Generation Lawn Chair Racer has just been unveiled at a press conference in my yard on the eve of the Ferguson Ridge Ski Area's annual Fergifest lawnchair race.

Nothing says go-fast like magenta racing stripes.

Highlights of the design include ultra-lightweight safety features achieved by not having any. This is offset by many sharp points that will be nearly impossible to avoid in the event of a crash.

Powered by high-octane gravity and built around the engineering principle that whatever's lying around in your shop might as well be used, this year's model strives to be able to turn, a feature that was overlooked in the previous model and would have come in real handy.

Also, I totally copied Paul Arentsen's design, which has carried him to glory three times now and I feel pretty good about my industrial espionage.

Due to construction delays caused by building it at the last minute, the shakedown cruise will be combined with the actual race and we'll see how she does.
