A Glorious hello to all! The race is only 47 hours away (maybe a bit less) and there is already much to talk about.

First and most importantly, congratulations to this year's reining Rutabaga Queen, Queen Dyna Might! She was glorious last weekend at the Rutabaga Ball. We will be talking to her at 10am on Saturday from the Plaza to kick off our live coverage of the race!

I have also been to the lab to see what our friends are up to there. Ken, June and Duane all have new sculptues (art) this year. And there are some other familiar faces. Ken's machine is the Hookah and Ladder engine 420, because, "Where there's smoke, there's firemen." They are racing not acing this year with a large crew of pilots. They are also going to action off one of their fireman's hats along the way. Look for the silent action sheet, and you could own a piece of kinetic history. They will be splitting the money raised equally between Kinetic Universe (the wonderful people who are putting on the race) and the Ferndale Volunteer Fire Dept.

Duane has resurrected his Surf and Turf machine and has given it a new skin of recycled aluminum. Be on the look out for his depiction of Ken and the fire engine (just like Duane always puts, "Ken is a nerd" on every kinetic poster--try to find it in this year's.) And be sure to look out for the fire emanating from somewhere near the top! (Burning Man has had its influence on Duane.)

June's machine this year is Gladys. She is a green giraffe with a cold. Naturally she is wearing high heeled pumps covered in red rhinestones. June is a master at bringing movement to her creations, so expect Gladys to do a lot of different things. June does warn us that because she has a cold, you won't know when Gladys bends down if she will cough or give you a kiss, so have your hankies (and red lipstick) ready!

Also coming out of the kinetic lab this year are a couple of young pilots who used to race with Duane. You may remember Jenn being trapped under the dragon when it flipped in the bay. She and Billy are not only back, but upping the ante with a machine of their own. It is "Dia de los Tacos" and it looks like a taco truck being driven by skeletons. Look for the ofrenda (altar) in the back. They are promising a "surprise" at the beginning of the race. (I'm hoping they will be selling tacos from the machine!)

I don't know what Fun Guy! is up to. He was attending his wife's graduation from HSU the day I went by, but we know it will be big, bold, loud and wonderful (just like he is.)

And finally, I was contacted by Michael (you may know him from the Peace Peddler of old) about his machine this year. They will be the "Sprocket Brothers" and these private eyes will be solving a mystery in three acts along the race this year. Here is what they sent to me:

Sprocket Brothers, Private Eyes

The Mystery of the Freelove Circus Animals

It was early spring in Arcata when Shea Freelove, Ringmaster of the internationally famous Freelove Circus, contacted Sprocket Bros…Private Eyes for some help with a problem he was having over at the Circus. Something was quite wrong with some of the animals. It seems as though Tina the Elephant, a normally cooperative and entertaining member of the circus family had been acting out in some unusual and disturbing ways. She had begun making a lot of noise, trumpeting about going rogue, intimidating the spectators, being totally uncooperative with the other animals and their human friends. Eeyore, the singing donkey, who was usually very cooperative and humorous and outgoing was hiding in his stall and acting down-right depressed and scared. He kept muttering under his breath something that sounded kind of like “My balls, my balls, I can’t find my balls.” Well, needless to say, this is a problem for a ringmaster that needs to have a smooth running show with all the animals getting along and helping out with making the spectators happy. Well, as the saying goes, he made us an offer we couldn’t refuse. Free tickets to the circus, a little clown, Giusseppi, to help us solve the mystery, and all the peanuts we could eat. Well, we never like to admit that we will work for peanuts, but, hey, we got Giuseppi, too. So that’s how it began. Axel and Ring O. Sprocket…the Sprocket Bros were on the case. We immediately started getting the Sprocketmobile ready for another adventure. Giusseppi would need a place to ride, we would need to make it fit in with the circus entourage so we could go undercover to solve the mystery, and it needed to be really cool! As we got more and more closely associated with the circus family we started to realize there is some serious funny business going on over there. It isn’t easy to make sense of something as silly and funny as a circus, what with the dancers, fire breathers, fire twirlers, drummers, band people and the animals. It was a zoo over there. With the next big event coming up….The Kinetic Grand Championship…Shea needed answers and solutions-FAST. So that’s how Ring O and I ended up entering this highly irregular competition on a quest for clues.

Thus unfolds the Mystery of the Freelove Circus Animals. This is a play in three acts…Day One, Day Two, and Day Three…culminating with a solution in Ferndale to restore order and harmony to the circus family.

That's all for now...Dare I even mention that the weather looks promising for the race? Well, as our glorious founder, Hobart Brown, used to say: even in the event of sunshine, the race will go on!

For the Glory!

Open Letter to The Kinetic Universe

2009-06-15T16:46:00.000-07:00

It has been nearly a month since the greatest event ever has closed for another year. Each night I go to sleep with the drum beats of the beach party still making my chest pound.

I can still smell the many campfires. I can still remember the faces the smiling faces of the drivers and crew. The taste of my first "Ruby" kiss, and the taste of the best beef stew I have ever consumed.

I saw first hand what it was like to be a participant. Whether it was a driver or a peon, the absolute joy that enveloped the crowd was indeed intoxicating. I was fortunate enough to be the entourage of a "Queen". Therefore I was privy to being introduced to things and people that mere tourists never get to enjoy. For that I will always be truly grateful.

I got to meet "Murphy", a single man driver. I was able to enjoy the company of a former Queen and her awesome support crew. Katy Texas, you did so rock, and I was so honored to be able to spend some time conversing with you. Nick from Oberon, you are and amazing Chef and for you to provide the food you made was truly a gesture of love. Ruby and her "Ruby Kisses" and her lovely banquet she provided as "bribes" was stellar. I was able to spend time and space with at least four prior Queens. Jermajesty, your reign will be a golden page in the Races history. Romy, goddess of wine and dance you too were a memory that will last forever. The many giving and sharing people at the bonfire that shared all they had and expected nothing but a smile and love in return. The dance I got to share with all the Queens and with Harmony will forever be etched upon my heart and soul. Thank you Harmony for all you gave so that we could free ourselves and in my belief become one heart one soul. That gathering from start to finish was without a doubt the most enthralling event I have ever experienced in my 50+ years walking this planet. As write this my heart is still pounding to the wonderful drum beat that our "band" shared with us. To the Fire Princess who graced me with the best picture of the event, thank you.

For me it was the most enjoyable and heart wrenching event. I had the best of times meeting the best of all people. I also had the knowledge that this was to be my last weekend in Humboldt for quite sometime. I was both enlightened to tears from all the love and fun being shared, to the greedy self indulgent sadness as this, as all good things must eventually come to and end. I have made promises to people that I would again return to my home in Humboldt. I have a Queen to get crowned. I hope that I am still able to be a part of that entourage, and to do my part to get him elected.

To the volunteers, officials, announcers, and Shining Heralds, you should be very proud of your work. You made this person very happy to be a part of the best event ever.

Signed,
TwistedHumboldt,
Glenn Thompson

P.S. To my "Queen" mere words cannot envelope my feelings for you and the wonderful gift you gave to me. Thank you does not begin to describe what you laid before my feet, and the joy you brought my soul.

Race Results

2009-05-26T11:38:00.000-07:00

2nd to Last: Ruby Dew

Poor Pitiful Me Award: Henry Ford Shoots for the Moon (They didn't make the start, but were at the finish)

Grandpa's Flying Machine: a tribute

2009-05-26T11:30:00.000-07:00

As many of you know, Grandpa, the oldest of our racers, was honored at last year's kinetic banquet with the Hobart Brown Lifetime Achievement Award. We gave him a heart-felt standing ovation for his many years of personifying the kinetic way. We lost Grandpa this year and many of the kinetic family came to the memorial to honor him.

This year, Grandpa's team raced his machine as a tribute to him.
The machine is now retired and has been donated to the Kinetic Sculpture Race Museum. Race officials have also retired his number.

We all honor his memory.

Developing: Early reports suggest that the sedan rear-ended the pickup truck. It's unclear whether or not a Kinetic-affiliated bicyclist played a part in the accident. No racers are reported as injured, although one of the passengers has complained of neck pain.

Day 2
We had a wonderful, nutritious and tasty lunch at Eureka Natural Foods. They treated all the pilots to a hot lunch and a rest off the clock before hitting the road and heading down the freeway. Our friends from US Cellular were there taking pictures and printing them on the spot and handing them directly to the racers. What kinetic spirit! By popular acclaim by the participants this was an excellent addition to the race and we hope to do it again next year!
