Inspired by the Kinetic Grand Championship in Arcata, CA the Obtainium Cup and will highlight the abandoned splendor of the historic Naval Shipyard.
The racers will assemble at Alden Park and at 3pm will drive along the waterfront where they will need to pass 4 silly challenges –Flying Monkeys, Robots, Zombies, and the Mad Hatters –all designed to stymie and frustrate the competitors and entertain spectators! The course is approximately 5 miles in length with a couple of 2-4% grade sections.
This family-friendly event will include vehicles that are driven without the use of a motor and can be an art piece or a bicycle that has been altered in some fashion. Spectators are encouraged to travel with the rally on bikes to view the various challenges.
At both events, there will be food, refreshments, live and DJ entertainment, and steampunk vendors.
Obtainium Works is the premier art car factory in the San Francisco Bay Area and has created a number of vehicles that have been to Burning Man, Maker Faire and on a number of television shows including SF Oddities and Tiny House Nation. They have been featured in Wired Magazine, Time Magazine, Huffington Post, and Daily Mail UK.
