Super Stock off-the-shelf machines and full-tilt multi-motor Top Fuel monstrosities go head-to-head in this capacitor-blowing shrapnel mayhem. Thrill to the speed and smells as hardware store favorites battle down a racetrack to glory.

About the Maker(s)

The Shipyard is a collaborative build space for large-scale mechanical, kinetic and electronic artwork. With 27 shipping containers arrayed around the perimenter of a 11,000 sq ft outdoor lot, the Shipyard provides a flexible space to create ambitious large-scale art and technology projects- projects that are often difficult to realize in typical indoor warehouse spaces.
