After a hearty week of traveling, I rolled the sled into the driveway this evening and was accosted by 3 pesky youngsters atop these human powered carts. "H" and his buds had broke into the Frick's World workshop and created, I don't know what to call them except carts. "H" was rolling in a modified "Radio Flyer" wagon. His buds stretched the creative boundary's with their creations. The one below consisted of plywood, lots of glue, electrical tape, the back of an old chair, file cabinet drawer and did I mention lots of glue.
It looked like some kind of a Salt Flats rocket powered one man jet car. This thing twisted as it rolled down the driveway. Despite it hovering just inches above the pavement they managed to flip this craft.
After they were done in the pits the races began.
Pictured above is "Mr. Blue Shirt's" chariot. It consisted of an skateboard protected by a piece of 1/2 plywood with the rack from an old dishwasher acting as the combination seat and roll cage. As of 9:00pm they were back in the pits tweaking for tomorrows races.
