History: Buggies


CIA buggies are like boomerangs: they just keep coming back! We're currently rolling the oldest buggy on the course (Stealth), not because we don't have other options, but because he's darn fast! CIA buggies have long and colorful histories; click on a buggy's name below to view its known history. If you know something that we don't, please let our webmaster know!
