I'm Not Dead Yet! (give us a moment, eh)

While we missed the deadline for entering the BKSR race, we are forging onward under the belief that if an eight foot walking contraption shows up at the race - and passes safety inspection - it'll be allowed to race. If not, then we'll be the first documented illegal interloper award recipient. Or in jail.

Build has been on hold for a week and some days due to main builder dude being busy getting his school bus patched up enough to pass state inspection before the time limit expired and it turned into a pumpkin (a large rusting pumpkin); if only there were an exemption for "Brilliant Evil Mastermind Busy Building World Domination Device".... alas, no such luck. Only more reason to take over the world - get that law changed ASAP!

Current status: hand-optimizing the gear teeth shape for the 18 inch and 7 inch gears. Yes, we are duely ashamed that the measurements are in english instead of metric units.

BKSR Entry by April 20th, Race is May 2nd

News Flash

The Dreaded Deadline has been set! They've released the 2009 Race Entry form which due by April 20th. So we have 2+ weeks to get this monster far enough before we have to commit cash. Not sure if the co-pilots have to be set by the April 20th date; hopefully there is some wiggle room there for last minute pilot changes.

Still trying to work out the second seat so the the kids can co-pilot and shoot the crowd with alien eggs.

So far, the roster includes:

• Carlos - pilot
• Max - pilot
• Kira - copilot / cannon
• Ian - copilot / cannon

Several people expressed interest in piloting or helping out; feel free to leave a comment (first names only eh). As of now, the monster has one seat for pilot (peddling) and one for co-pilot (non-peddling, under 100 lbs). We will be switching off on piloting duties as the race progresses so anyone who wants a chance to drive has one... stay tuned.
