Team List
Gingium
Caleb (aka Gingium) has been building full-time on youtube for a while. With fascinating builds (some of which he gives away) like his mid-engine Mitsubishi Eclipse, there is something for everyone here! Caleb has a great “follow me” video style that make his builds very approachable for garage fabricators. Subscribe to GINGIUM on YouTube!
Team KARNAGE
Dean “Karnage” Kearney is on of the best Drifters in the world. He competes in Formula Drift in a fleet of V-10 Dodge Vipers (which will NOT be allowed in CRABS!). The insults and roasting will never end if any of our other teams can beat him!

Rogue Fabrication
For over a decade, Rogue Fabrication has been making high-quality tools for fabricators. Now they are putting their own tools to use to build a car that will DOMINATE the 24 Hours of Lemons.
Rogue Fab will donate any prize money won to the RAINN (sex and other abise victims charity). More info here (link)

Junkyard Digs
Racing a 4 Cylinder Pinto in the NE region (IA), Junkyard digs is bringing the pony to the track for some incredible Class C racing action (slowest class, most fun in most cases)! These guys are one of the only teams with actual endurance racing experience in the CRABS series! They might not have the lowest lap times, but remember, this is an ENDURANCE race! Subscribe to Junkyard Digs on YouTube!
Cars and Cameras
It’ll be fine! John and Ike have been fabricating and entertaining full time for years. They have a brand new shop and joined CRABS to show the world what they can do – on a budget anyone can afford! Subscribe to Cars and Cameras YouTube!
Rather B Welding
Known for wild “outside the box” builds, RatherBWelding has built reverse trikes, long travel offroad builds, and conversion quads! We’re confident this will be a channel to watch throughout CRABS! Subscribe to Rather B Welding on YouTube!
Reckless Wrench Garage
Hobbyist fabricators and all-around “car guys”, Chris & Kris showcase what can be done with the right amount of motivation and recklessness in your driveway. These guys primarily focus on offroad content in dirt or rocks. They have content covering numerous axle builds, multilink suspensions, tube work, and their flagship builds of “The Suburban” and Ranger. CRABS Racing will take them outside their comfort zone with some concoctions for asphalt. No one knows how this will turn out, but we’d wager it will be entertaining!

Merricks's Garage
No “regular” build here! Merrick’s is looking for a killer square-body Chevy to build a radical road-race truck with! Expect a big block, loud and fast rig that is also built to handle and stop! Did we mention it will also be cheap!? Watch for his first video soon! Subscribe to Merricks Garage on YouTube!
Build It Garage
This team is lead by 2 engineers with experience in racing everything from hybrids to baja VW Beetles! They have been on YouTube for almost 8 years, though they took off some time during that period. Thier car will be a 2000 Audi with a 6 speed manual trans! What a fun car! Subscribe to Build It Garage on YouTube!
Build.Break.Repeat
From Rotary-powered Go-Karts to complete scratch builds, Joe and Jason are full of wild ideas! They will be joining CRABS for the 2024 CrossKart challenge and have already started working (we told them it was too early, but we are more about fun than rules)!
