Who We Are
World of Redneck started as this idea. Before a stunt, we had the idea of saying, “My name’s Blank, and this is the World of Redneck.” This idea first started in the late 2000’s. The only time it was said, it was never finished. On this particular event, Tony, one of our founders, found an old plastic sled in the garage at the family lake house. A dim light bulb went off in his head, as an idea slowly started to rise in the back of his head, “What if we tied the sled to the back of a speed boat and tried to ride it.” Well, 3 beers, 40ft of rope, and about an hour later, the idea came to life. The boat was getting into position, Tony was on the sled, and the camera was rolling. Tony started saying, “My name’s Tony…” and before he could even finish, The boat took off and Tony was successfully sledding behind a heavily modified boat, doing about 50mph.
The idea was not dead there. However, some time went by until something was done with it. While serving in the Air Force, Tony found himself bored while on deployment, and made the World of Redneck Facebook page in the Fall of 2014. Memes started to be created and short videos of our builds were getting made. We caught little fame for quite some time. The first ever Pissed In Cup was came to us in a phone call. It was decided that we would take some of our junk cars that we had and have a race on Mike’s property. Only two cars were there and 7 drivers. We took turns in the cars and had the time of our lives. It wasn’t until the second Pissed In Cup that we kind of blew up. It was made a public event on Facebook and started getting shared like crazy. Almost overnight, 20,000 people were interested in the event. Thousands of others stated they were going. It was kind of an “oh, shit” moment for us, but, we were up for the challenge. Everything came to a screeching halt, like so many other things when the pandemic hit. The race was delayed, but it allowed for those who were more serious about the event to come through and participate.
The most people we have had at a single event has been over 30 cars and over 300 spectators in the Spring of 2022. We have found that we need to move the event to a more accommodating place in order to safely proceed in racing in a well organized fashion. The sale of our apparel all goes 100% back into World of Redneck in order to pay for track rentals, equipment rentals, or whatever else can help us make our events better for the sake of our participants.
World of Redneck does not discriminate against anyone at all based off of religion, sex, sexual preference, sexual identity, or race. The only race we care about is the one where we race against each other. We are here to have fun on a budget and believe anyone is entitled to do so.
