Maker Faire New York 2010

The Madagascar Institute presents: Chariot Races!

Chariot races! Jankety, cobbled together, dangerous-to-even-look-at chariots, pedal-powered versus jet-powered versus people-pulling-a-rebuilt-Idiotarod-shopping cart versus a motorcycle-with-minor-variations smashing and crashing and racing around a tightly-turning track in heats of four, all for crappy trophies but tons of glory, admiration, and envy at your boundless intestinal fortitude, brilliant creativity, and clever use of limited building skills. Tattoos are for wusses (did you know you can just walk in off the street and BUY tattoos? How punk rock)- scars have to be earned.
