    The Thang:
    Made a big change on the normal Mario Kart circuit. It was a lot crazier…

    Different Rules:
    – Only one pax can push the sled at a time
    — Everyone else is running along with it

    -Whenever you pass a station, 1 pax has to stop, do 10 merkins, and then collect a card.
    — You can use the card whenever you want
    — The sledder does not need to stop, just 1 person who is doing the merkisn
    — To use the card, go to one of the other teams and tag them. 1 pax needs to go to the middle and do what it says on the card.
    — Drop the used card in the bucket
    — If no one is with the sledder, then the person pushing has to stop and complete it.

    – Bombs: At any time, one pax at a time can run a suicide to collect a bomb to use: Bomb: everyone on the other sled does 5 or 10 Burpees(extra)

    — IF you are not in first place, you can have 1 pax work on burpees. Need to do 50 burpees as a team to collect a blue shell. Can only use the shell if you are not in first
    Blue Shell: The other team all does 10 Man Makers

    Items:
    Gold Mushroom: add an extra pax on the sled from corner to corner(need to change this)
    Red Shell: 10 BBS
    3 Red Shells: 30 BBS
    Green Shell: 15 Curls
    3 Green Shells: 45 Curls
    Lightening: 5 Inch Crawls(going to change to a sandbag carry)
    Fake Boxes: 10 Merkins
    Bananas: 30 Monkey Humpers
    Triple Banana: 60 Monkey Humpers
    Feather: 30 Flutter Kicks
    Flower Power: 15 Plank Jacks, 15 Overhead Claps
    Pirahna Plant: 10 Squat Thrusts

    Team 1 won after 3 laps but in the 5th, Team 2 caught up and took the second win.
