2009 Race Results!

This years race is now history and the results are not surprising! We saw a few new innovative designs, a lot of reused tires, and a few new racers.


We also saw the return of the car that sparked the idea for our race! A cardboard indy style car with one piccolo pete sticking out the back. It didn't go far, but it brought back memories from 1998.

Check out all of our pictures in the slide show below.

2009 Videos

David shot video of the entire race, but I did not take as many video snipets as I usually do. I haven't had a chance to edit the full length video, but I hope you enjoy the 'snipets' I did manage to capture.
One of David's cars.
Missy's first time running in the race. At least she did better than Tammie!

It's hard to see, but this is Vickie's 'green' car. Made from cardboard reels that use to hold ribbon and some dowls, it didn't do too badly!

2009 Winners!

1st Place - Nick
Nick won with a revamped design from last year! Check out last year's winner pics to see the 'old' design.

Actually Susan came in 2nd, but she didn't want her picture taken so she turned her entry over to Thomas!

3rd Place - David
David has won 'almost' every year we have recorded winners....just never 1st place!

2008 QUALIFYING RUNS

Qualifying. Everyone runs in qualifying. The top 5 cars with the greatest distance, go on to the finals. Here are a few of the qualifying runs.


Here is the line up for 2008. Not quite as many cars as in past years, but a good showing all the same.


James' run - good, but not good enough. Maybe if you spent more time on your car than on your Anime costume James, you would have won!


This entry barely made it off the starting platform. The car owner was too embarrassed to claim the run for themselves. Better luck next time!


David's qualifying run was good enough to land him in the finals!


Anticipation was high when the Noodle took it's place on the starting line. Unfortunately, it proved to be a little slow on delivery. Better luck next time Tom!


Tammie gave it a good shot on her qualifying run. But it wasn't good enough to make it to the finals.


This 3 wheel design by David, needed a little more stabilty around the front wheel. David thought the extra piece of balsam wood on the drive shaft was all it needed. It helped, but it wasn't good enough.

Heard of train racing? This is the Piccolo Pete version of it. If one car is good, two has to be better right?
