Yo,
A sand rail is a tube framed off road buggy specifically designed for sand. Skinny tires up front, paddles in the back.
Usually powered by air cooled VW engines...but they had a couple sick 20B powered ones at Sevenstock 4.

Alrighty, ill spill some info on this Monster Garage thing since Chris and I WERE going to be on it, but couldnt at the last minute 
Its a 1990 convertable that the trunk has been cut out of and a huge retractable "paddle wheel" installed in the trunk. The wheel is on a chain drive and lowers down to get traction in the sand for blasting up the hill.
Seems like not enough power right? Well, thats what a 100 shot of NOS can help with (that was the original guess on the shot, but dont know if they stuck with it). Its a wet system to help keep enough fuel along with the nitrous so that the engine last a little while.
Its funny though, they got in a bit of trouble with the park rangers when they were blastin around with a straight exhaust and flames out the back late at night........cant imagine why......
Anyways, it should be alot of fun to watch. Im interested to see how it all turns out. I know this stuff because they got the car and some help from the local mazda wrecking yards in Rancho Cordova.
Anyone else know stuff that i dont ? Id like to know more !

When they're done, they should race it against the 1986 Porsche 944 they turned into a golf ball picker. Make them race through a sand trap at a golf course or something.
