Kinetic Sculpture Race 2004

YetAnotherName writes "Tom Jones again has coverage and eye-candy of the 2004 Baltimore Kinetic Sculpture Race where engineers and artists come together, with tongues firmly in cheeks, to create land-riding, mud-crawling, sea-slogging, human-powered works of art. Amongst the winners were the Cirque de Sore Legs and La Kafkaracha."

Looks like fun!

ThThere is another story about this event here and also here. It looks to me like it was a lot of fun! Clearyly the event is lighthearted and has a sense of humor, especially regarding some of the prizes:

"Fifi" won the Best Bribes Award when two of her crew serenaded the judges on bended knee.

"The Valking Viscar Boot" was awarded the Worst Honorable Mention, for "half-baked theoretical 'engineering' which did not deter its Pilot from the challenge of the race"

"The Rat" won the Next-To-Last Award for coming in right near the end of the race.

I wish I'd known in advance, I only live about 45 minutes away and it would have been fun to watch.

Happy Trails!
