Chicago (June 22nd, 2004) - Team Barking Chirp, "The Best Damn Team Without a Car," delivered a standout performance at the United States Grand Prix this past weekend.

TBC Captain and Bob "4-Finger" Hengel, TBC Director of Vendor Relations, made a rash last-minute decision to complete the newly-coined "INDY TRIFECTA." Departing Chicago at a moments notice, the team arrived in Indy at 4:00 AM CST - and was blasting the FORMULA 1 CD and slamming vodka by 6:15 AM CST.

Fully intoxicated by 8:00 AM, the Captain and Four headed down Georgetown Road to discover the greatest extension of the team chirp known to man - the air horn. While most patrons of the track reserved their air horn use for the winning laps of the Ferraris, the team utilized all of their obnoxious sound within 15-minutes of the purchase. Not allowed during the 500 or Brickyard for fear of causing a riot or hazardous explosion, the air horn nonetheless will become the new rally cry of TBC Racing.

Exhibiting true jackass qualities, the Captain and Four made a mockery of the euro-trash that infested our beloved track.

"When you are at a race, there should be thousands of drunken idiots screaming obscenities, not just my foul mouth breaking the silence at the track," remarked the Captain. "While these F1 fans may have the largest quantity of extensions and the most expensive costumes, they are by far the lamest group of race fans I have ever encountered. A working girl on Crawfordsville Road wouldn't even peak the interest of these lame-ass fans."

"What disappointed me the worst, besides the lobster wrap I had for lunch, was the lack of enthusiasm by other members of the team in attending the race, and more importantly, wanting to complete the INDY TRIFECTA," said a disappointed Hengel. "The Therapist, Director of Remembrances and Short-Shorts all talk a big game, but as far as I'm concerned their enthusiasm is lacking and suspensions are due soon."

Beyond the few snags of team attendance and all the grass on the side of Four's car due to the Captain doing doughnuts in the parking lot after the race, the trip was a success and once again proved that Team Barking Chirp is the "Best Team Without a Car." The F1 cars are brutally fast, have a great sound and are a blast to watch.

The next official Team Barking Chirp event will be held Saturday, July 17th, at Lake Geneva Raceway. That evening will feature Modifieds, Super Stocks and TRAILER RACE #2. The team is currently taking applications for the 89th running of the Indianapolis 500 as well.
