Car Hunt

Car Hunt is the now legendary event organized in 1995 where a group of our friends took an Oldsmobile station wagon and added steel re-enforcements, setup a system where they could drive it via remote control and then “hunted” it down in a Nevada desert using an assortment of guns while riding in chase vehicles.

Here’s a great gallery of Car Hunt photos by Nicole Rosenthal.

Check out Chuck Cirino excellent “Car Hunt” video on Weird America.

Michael Dougan wrote about Car Hunt in the San Francisco Examiner:
“Playful gathering pumps hot lead in rural Nevada”

Car Hunt was organized by John Law, Robert Burke and People Hater, along with some of the people from the The Drive-By Shooting Range at Burning Man.

  1. I’ve had the video since 96. I show it to my high school students, as an example of contemporary art/prank events, so they can see that life isn’t so dull after all.

  2. Goddammit, I miss everything cool!! Well, not everything but Goddammit I want to ridearound at breakneck speeds shooting at another car and not go to jail again.
