Minecraft Far Lands or Bust - #589 - Because Racecar is the five-hundred eighty-ninth episode of Far Lands or Bust, and the ninety-ninth episode of Season 6.
==Video Overview==
===Live, from the past!===
Kurt stretches his legs and leaves the Hidey Hole with Wolfie. The episode is recorded May 24th, but is set to come out June 5th. Kurt talks about the name 'Far Lands or Bust' and Child's Play Charity being introduced five years ago. He is feeling the itch to record, and is recording to keep it together. He finds an underwater Dungeon and embarks on getting the water drained. He gets an update that the charity is at $33,500, exactly 55% of the goal. Kurt finds a single iron ingot, and continues on.
===Transit of Mercury===
On May 9th the Transit of Mercury occurred, and he watched it himself. He used solar film long stored from his Illinois astronomy club, and was indeed able to set up his telescope in time. Kurt managed to get some photos with his phone, and enjoyed seeing it disappear. 
===California Racing===
Kurt drove out to Monterrey, and enjoyed it, but was not able to fully drive everywhere he wanted. He noticed 'Laguna Seca' on a map, and there was a 'National Autosport Association' weekend event. It was hard to find any information on the race, and he went there as a spectator. He had so sign a waiver, and there were a lot of practices and track day type events going on. Kurt echoes thoughts ConeDodger shared that most race tracks are relatively abandoned. He got pretty close to a hairpin on the track, and was stopped by a race official. It really put the track into perspective for him.
===Red Bull Rallycross===
At 'Wild Horse Paths Motorsports Park', Kurt went to a Red Bull Rallycross event. It was $25 for general admission, and Red Bull always had rocking music during the races. There was also no way to see the start/finish line. The light class was interesting to Kurt, and one of the cars did a roll on the final hairpin and landed back on its wheels and continued. Kurt jokes that racer Tanner Foust had a smaller crowd than he has had at Minecon for his autograph.
