Baltimore Kinetic Sculpture Race

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the junkyard-wars dept.

YetAnotherName writes "Both Wired Magazine and Tom Jones have coverage of the East Coast Championship Kinetic Sculpture Race 2003. Contestants plant tongue firmly into cheek, construct, and race bizarre human-powered vehicles across a variety of terrains. Notable vehicles included a 13-foot high pink poodle and a giant eyeball. Special rules this year required contestants to carry a sock-puppet on board. The winner this year? RTFA."

    And I thought pumpkin launching was a waste of time. At least their kinetic launchers can kill people; Fifi doesn't exactly strike awe or terror into the onlookers.

    Did anyone else think there should have been a tux present at their silly little race?

    My exact thoughts. I would pay to see Linus and Bruce Perens pedaling a giant penguin built on a bicycle for two.
