After hearing about Mr. Lighthouse’s bout of sporting fever across the Fells I remembered something that may be of interest to Babbagers.
Auto Polo.
Played at Coney Island in 1913.
I think with some modified Go-Devils this could become a new form of physical harm winter sport!

Sidehackin’ is the thing to do
And it doesn’t hurt to have a low IQ…
That looks nicely insane. Is it the ancestor of wheelchair rugby (also known as murderball) ?
im in! maybe do it as part of the founders celebrations or oiling festival. instead of a ball how about a ticking bomb?
I still contend that any proper Babbage sport would involve explosives and/or fire.
