Images from Power Tool Drag Races

 

Power Tool Drag Races, 65 people entered. Two of the top 8 were sisters, 9 and 6 years old, No shit. Were are talking stiff competition also, one of the SRL people, SeeMans (one man who does similar stuff), and 4 other 'pro' machine artists, not to mention many other very capable artists.  How about a reciprocating saw running on compressed nitrogen sled (ridden) that goes 48mph, or a chain saw (with blade) that goes 33mph....Crazy stuff!! I had a great time hanging out getting sunburned and meeting lots of freeks. They also had hot cheerleaders, and a Marching band. 

Here are the better images I was able to get:

The Big Wheel, A truck tire driven by two angle grinders.

Starting line, notice the burned track in the lower left hand corner.

Ross and Teiwaz

The media attacking a young girl who did very well.

Crowd waits patiently for another race.

Two of the hot Cheerleaders, I am sorry I did not get more shots of them.

A Ferris wheel powered by peddling.

Most of the raceway, looking at the start.

A fun bike, style over speed.

Mr. Foo, Kiki, Cute Woman, Sparky, Teiwaz, Christopher Schardt, hang out in the pit.
