"We have to do what?" the teams ask as host Dennis Pittsenbarger introduces the taco eating contest.
This one got, shall we say, messy…and keeping them down proved to be an important point. Avenging their struggles to that point, Jay Boddie, Russ Wullenwaber, and the Boddie/Dow Brothers team ate their way back into the race, emerging as the taco-eating champions. For their efforts — and in addition to a stomach-ache and unlimited trips to the restroom — they earned a nitrous oxide system from
NOS and a 50-pound weight reduction, thus gaining back the weight penalty they took earlier in the cylinder head debacle.
