The Power Tool Drag Races

What, you may ask, are power tool drag races? It’s a sport where gearhead geeks procure and modify any kind of power tool you can think of to race down a 75 foot long wooden track as fast as possible. The goal, to be the fastest power tool in the universe! We got a preview at the Maker Faire a couple of weeks ago, this is the main event.
