Power Racing Series PPPRS

What is the Power Racing Series? See http://powerracingseries.org/

“The challenge – to create a working electric vehicle for less than $500 using open source tools and tech.”

Milwaukee Makerspace members built cars and raced in the 2010, 2011, and 2012 Power Racing Series.

2010 Season

Little Pink Trike built by Tom G.

Grave Digger built by Royce Pipkins.

2011 Season

Big Jake built by David Feng.

Baby Burrito built by Sean Malloy.

2012 Season

Jakeinstein (Big Jake rebuilt from scratch for a lower CG, better steering, better acceleration, better braking, just better all around!) built by Tom G. and David Feng.

Red Lotus built by Tom G.

2013 Season

We don't know if there will be a 2013 season, but the following individuals expressed interest in taking part:

Tom will serve as our advisor with Sean being the seasoned veteran, but besides those two we've got a relatively new team with jason and Pete doing just a little bit of driving in the 2012 season and Gary and Mike joining us.

This is all pretty tentative. The Power Racing Series runs on a shoestring budget, but if it happens again in 2013, we plan to be ready. i3Detroit & Sector67, You've been warned!
