OT: Punkin Chunkin on Discovery!! Awsome!!
 

Never seen so much awsome redneck engineering!!! Bring on the duct tape!!

One just threw over 2000 feet!!!!

Geez!!! 3969 feet!!!!

HUH???:confused: :confused: :confused: :D

World record is 4096 feet. Damn, that's sneaking up on a mile!!

If your confused, it's a pumpkin throwing contest. These guys have built some amazing machines to do this. Air cannons throw the farthest, followed by cintrifigal throwers (picture a big propeller with a pumpkin on the end of it).

Simply amazing!!! Brings out the real redneck in all of us!!!

Team from Howell, MI won this year. 3888 feet. We got us some awsome rednecks round these parts.

That was a cool show.:)

You sure you don't want me to give her a call???

:D :D

THis happens right in our back yard it seems like...or maybe more like a half hour away. We go with a motor home and stay all weekend and Waterfoul you are right. It is the best "Redneck" Activity on the face of the planet. So much fun its hard to describe.

pisses me off to see that that **** gets better tv coverage than offshore racing

Maybe we should take a lesson, and begin adding potato guns and punkin cannons to our boats. Hmmmmmm...:rolleyes:

It would make for interesting racing.;)

you may have something there.. we could have war games on the water

There was some unbelievable hardware on that show! :o

Did you guys catch what that one air cannon thrower did to that Blazer? That pumpkin ripped the **** out of the vehicle! Now that's movin' :D

Standard equipment on all insptech naval vessels

I went to this event last year for the first time. If I'm not mistaken, they draw approximately 50,000 people during a 3 day weekend. One great big field, thousands of people and all custom built punkin' chunkers. It was truly a sight that I've never seen before.

Here's one of the sites. Be sure to click on the video portion on the bottom of the page. Don't forget to try your luck on the cannon. Have fun.
