The morning began with two general warm up races and unfortunately the winner of one heat was difficult to decide (see photo above). Shortly afterwards, teams challenged each other to some good old-fashion bracket style racing. After 10 or so races, an overall winner was declared. While Team Inglorious B's took home the honor of "Fastest Plastic", with their homebrewed 24VDC KFX700 quad, Team Murdered Black was close on their bumper. I had to laugh when the Dukes of Hazard Team began begging the judges for a restart because of technical issues with the General Lee.
Make no mistake, the competition was fierce!
After a short trash talking session and cheering for drivers and their vehicles, an Endurance Race was soon under way. Miss. Church managed to wrap her team's PowerWheels around a pole and Team Ballin' (I think that was their name) caused a small pile up on the north straightaway. I missed who won this event because I was too busy trying to process all the chaos out on the track.
The Demolition Derby proved to be the most entertaining:
- One team unleashed their secret weapon - a water cannon. Note: Water and Zunes don't mix!- Appartently a certain somebody (We'll call him, Mr. M) forgot the rule about keeping his hands to himself.
- Team Batman let me bump their ipod tunes to get everyone's adereline pumping.
- The driver for Team Big Jake ended up on the ground with several people parked on top of his body.

-Team Barbie Princess showed off their mad wheelie skills.
(Please email me with your memories of the chaos and I'll post them here)
The photographer from the West Valley View said he would have the photos from today's event on his website this afternoon, but something must have come up. If anyone happens to find the photos online, please send me an email on where to look.
Sorry about all the strange formatting on his post,,, I'm done fighting with the software for tonight! :) see you soon!
