It's not a barstool if there's no place to put your beer. Asking somebody to hold it doesn't count.

Silly me, I thought a barstool was a place where you parked your ass and stayed close to the bar until you fell off the stool. Mobility neither required nor desired.

My guess at the origins of "barstool racing" would be some drunk some night had the brainstorm that peeing would be a lot easier if you could simply drive the barstool to the toilet as opposed to walking. From that point it simply escalated in a foggy alcohol induced haze. And it probably involved the Hobo Haus. And the Maki brothers. And several cousins.

I dare any sane and/or sober person to get that thing up to 3rd gear.

I dare any sane and/or sober person to get that thing up to 3rd gear. Article says the speed's limited to 25 mph. My guess is there's only one gear.

I don't see a clutch but I do see a shift lever of some sort. Maybe just a engage lever. Having a governor on it makes common sense but anyone with the skills to put the kit together could bypass that. That much weight would make it pretty stable on the turns.

Shifter is to select drive or reverse, looks like.

And if I recall, barstool racing isn't really about top speed. It's about staying on top at speed.

DUH! Silly me.
I'd be trying to pick the thing up to turn it around.
Then again, I don't drink enough to make it fun.
