Who wants to mod and race Power Wheels?

All of you? That's what i thought.

We'll be organizing into teams, and having each team mod, race, fix, and continue racing a Power Wheels vehicle through a series of trials and tribulations. For $40, you can have your very own functional Power Wheels, for you and your team (if you'd like to work in a group) to modify and race!

San Francisco has Bring Your Own Big Wheel. BYOBW is cool, but is very poorly suited for Chicago, since it requires hills. Instead of hills, we have all kinds of boring flat land, and vehicles don't just merrily roll along flat land.

Enter the POW-POW-Power Wheels Racing Series! This is a full eight-course racing series in which each team gets one (and only one!) Power Wheels to last them all summer. Each team must build, modify, and hack its vehicle to perform as well as psosible through the entire season. The eight events include:

We have already acquired nine Power Wheels, which are at the space. All you need to do is pay $40 (per team, NOT per person!) and claim your vehicle! The vehicles don't have batteries yet, but very soon we should have some inexpensive batteries that will do a better job at powering your vehicle than the absurdly expensive stock Fisher Price batteries.
