Another somewhat related thing I am getting started in the school is Power Racing Series cars. the basics of it are, you get $500 and 1440 Watts to make a power wheels car faster, then race it around a track with other maniacs...I mean enthusiasts. Here is the trailer for the 2016 season. https://vimeo.com/153205338 and the series web page http://www.powerracingseries.org/ |
BTW The maker and driver of the car in the video thumbnail was also a captain of team overhaul in BB and a FIRST alum.
