Hey Guys,

While these aren't street-legal electric cars, there is a LOT of design that goes into them and they are a BLAST!

Last weekend, the Milwaukee MakerSpace brought out our four competition-modified kid's electric cars to go head-to-head against other teams through the mid-west and as far east as Pittsburg.

Here's a video of the endurance race:


And there's some more info on the event at my blog including me visiting Thomas Edison's lab!


PS: One of our drivers even ROLLED a car! If that's not real racing, I don't know what is!
