Peter & The Giraffe


Peter has been involved in the race from its inception (almost … we think). He’s used the same machine year after year, with improvements gleaned from each race. This man is pretty incredible! I can’t think of anything more fun than watching him go up and down, and up and down, propelling his puffy wheeled machine, sometimes winning, sometimes not. FOR THE GLORY Peter! You’ve got the right stuff!














Grandpa’s Flying Machine

A Tribute to Grandpa

Grandpa's Flying Machine,


Grandpa, the oldest of the Kinetic Sculpture Racers, was honored at last year’s kinetic banquet with the Hobart Brown Lifetime Achievement Award, where he received a heart-felt standing ovation for his many years of personifying the kinetic way.

Grandpa passed away this year and his team raced his machine, Grandpa’s Flying 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 … for the glory!
