We arrived safely in Kansas City at about 5:30am at Hammerspace, slept for a few minutes\/hours, and then headed to Union Station downtown to unpack and get the car set up.\u00a0 Teams were amazing, there was about 13 cars running throughout the day, necessitating two heats for most races.<\/p>\n

The day started out with a head to head elimination style drag racing, which we were ultimately able to clinch first place to reserve a pole position start for the circuit race in the later afternoon.\u00a0 The circuit race was two heats, we started and finished the first round in 1st place.\u00a0 The second round was the top 4 cars from both rounds in a 15 lap shootout to the finish which we were ultimately victorious.<\/p>\n

We’d like to take the opportunity to thank our sponsors:
\nIsthmus Engineering<\/strong> for scrap materials that were turned into motor\/brake rotor\/sprocket mounts
\nRenascence Manufacturing<\/strong> for scrap aluminum square stock that was welded into a beautiful light weight frame
\nDreamBikes<\/strong> for a pair of 130MM bicycle disc brakes to slow the machine down
\nCash sponsorship from Expedition Arts<\/strong><\/a> to make the trip to KC and Detroit possible
\nCash sponsorship from 5Nines internet hosting<\/strong><\/a> to make the trip to KC and Detroit possible
\nTechnical Service<\/strong> who loaned a 4QD controller and 2.5HP 36VDC electric motors
\nEV Powers<\/strong> who loaned us 14 Lithium Ion MottCell batteries<\/p>\n

Last minute adjustments, just prior to stickering the car up.
