Hello!

My name is Jim Burke.  I'm a Director-at-Large of Pumping Station:One, a
hackerspace in Chicago, Illinois.

We are hosting an inter-hackerspace event called the Power Racing Series
(PPPRS) at Maker Faire: Detroit on July 31st and August 1st, 2010. This
event consists of hackerspaces from around North America heavily modifying
Power Wheels ride-on toys to compete in a series of events that include a
race, a soccer match, a tug-of-war, and a special surprise finale. Teams
will be asked to make their vehicles capable of achieving all these tasks. 1

 You can visit our website www.powerracingseries.org to read more
information about PPPRS, download our rules packet and to sign up.
