Here is David 'in the pits' before the race building an engine. Tom asked him to rewire one of the entries that was made out of plastic bottles. It started with a single Piccolo Pete sticking out of the end of each of the 3 bottles. The problem would be lighting it. David rewired it, which fixed the problem. This design was rather cool as it sported a smoke bomb taped to the front, which was lit at the same time as the engine - for dramatic affect! (Video pending)
We had 3 yellow buses entered this year, all by different contestants. They did remarkably well. Unfortunately, due to the small wheel base, they tend to get a little squirrly. (Video pending)
At our Christmas White Elephant gift exchange last December, this statue (Oscar) was one of the gifts. It was reworked into a car for the race! It didn't run well, but it was interesting to look at.
Here is my car. I call it the Hula Car.
Did you ever see the movie Wally? This car is a distant cousin.
Here is the runaway car... part one is it going astray... part 2 is it's reveal from under the car.
