That looks pretty badass. You're going to race that also?

thanks, its not technically a race. They advertise it as a parade, but its basically hauling ass pedal powered around an 8? mile or so route throughout the city ending at the art festival.

brilliance is the word most applicable here. Might I suggest that you mount several dozen roman candles to the sides programmed to go off in waves, ahhahahahahha.

hehe thanks Phil, but you cant re-use roman candles!
Already planning on adding a few propane flame cannons on this for night.

Basic setup is 1 LPG tank full of propane -> empty LPG tank to collect the vapor -> 4 way fitting -> solenoid, pressure gauge, pilot light -> 2'' barrel connected to solenoid.

Wait till pressure in the vapor chamber is stable, pop the solenoid, huge fireball. Rinse and repeat!

We are mounting a suitcase generator on this to power the sound system, lights & solenoid. This does not break the rules since the generator is not powering the drive train, just good ol human pedal power...
