Master Builders Racing

Power Wheels car on steroids competing in the Power Racing Series.

What inspired you to make this project?:
I purchased a Power Wheels for my daughter when she was 4 (she's 8 now). Being and engineer and w/ amateur motorpsorts background, I started modifying it soon after. Unfortunately my plans didn't go too well and I ended up burning out the control board. At roughly the same time my other daughter was born. All projects came to a stop and her Power Wheels was relegated to a spot in the garage where it was all but forgotten about. Two years ago I heard about the Power Racing Series the Jim Burke organizes and shared the idea w/ my daughter about a year ago. She seemed interested in it and after drafting my brother to work w/ us on it, we started and build an entry for the event. It has become a family project now and is a great platform to teach my daughter and someday her younger sister about the science, technology & engineering.
