The fourth annual Klamath Kinetic Challenge is just around the corner. Lotsa new information, or at least updated. The 2008 entry forms are here, available for download. Get 'em while they're hot.
Also check out the new Scoring section, stuff you always wanted to know about judging. Get inside the judges heads and be amazed by the maze of indecipherable information swirling around. It may give you some insight into how the heck they could give that award to....
Mud Pit: No mud pit this year. Note changes to rules, schedule and spectator directions.
Hotel Deals: A few deals on Motels have been arranged. Only a few rooms so get on these right away. Also information on Motels close to Veterans Park, the center of the Klamath Kinetic Challenge.
If you've had your head in the sand the last three years you may not know what a Kinetic Sculpture race is. Well, Kinetic Sculptures are home made, human powered vehicles able to travel (hopefully) over land, sand, muck, rocks and, oh ya, water. They carry one, two, four or more people. The race is to see if these fantastic creations are able to negotiate the course. Awards are given for engineering/construction, art, speed and many other frivolous achievements. The Race is really a Festival put on FOR THE FUN of all involved, including spectators. (See links for information on other kinetic sculpture races.)
Well, you can. Sculptures came from all over for previous events. In 2007 six local teams entered. We're hoping even more adventurous, ingenuous people from Klamath Falls will enter sculptures in the future. You can do this. Race festivities are best enjoyed by those directly involved.
Workshops are held every once in a while to assist you with the pesky details of building a Sculpture of your own. Check this web page for upcoming Workshops and other helpful events, or if interested contact us. You could get us off our duffs to organize the next workshop.
Volunteers are always needed. Planning is already underway for the Fourth Annual KKC and you could have a positive impact. Volunteers are highly appreciated by the Racers and "bribes" are readily given. You really don't want to miss this Event again. (See the contacts section and let us know you are interested.)
You betcha. The Klamath Kinetic Challenge is much more fun for those intimately involved but spectators are an integral part. Come out race day for a spectacle seldom seen in Klamath Falls. See the For Spectators section to the left. You'll be glad you came out.
A heartfelt thank you for all who've made the KKC such a success. Sponsors, volunteers, racers and spectators. Thank You.
FOR THE FUN
