Powertool Racing v2 & Maker Olympics!
July 6 @ 2:00 pm – 6:00 pm
Powertool Racing V2
Bigger, better, faster, and back for another year! Power Tool Racing at Make Santa Fe is a blowout summer event you don’t want to miss.
Power Tool Racing is a unique motorsport in which modified power tools, such as drills and angle grinders, have been transformed into high-speed racing machines. The event will showcase these souped-up power tools as they race head-to-head on a specially designed power tool drag strip.
Whether you’re an avid racing fan, a power tool enthusiast, or simply seeking an unforgettable experience, mark your calendars for July 6. Power Tool Racing is the season’s must-see event, promising an exhilarating display of power, speed, and skill.
The Maker Olympics
In addition to the races, we’re also hosting the Maker Olympics. Attendees can compete in carnival-like games to win fun prizes and compete to be the top Maker Olympian!
Games Include:
- Hammer Time!: Contestants compete to drive a nail into a board in as few blows and as fast as possible.
- Size Does Matter: Contestants guess length to the nearest 1/8”.
- Scrapwood Basketball: Contestants have 60 seconds to sink as many pieces of scrap into a trashcan as possible.
- Make the Cut: Contestants compete to be the fasts to cut a 4×4 post in half.
- Screw It!: Contestants compete to screw in a 1 5/8” screw into a 2×4 using only a handheld screwdriver.
- Tape Measure Fishing: Contestants compete to pull objects across a table using only a tape measure.
- Mini Battle Bots: Contestants battle head-to-head to pop each other’s balloons.
Attendance is free, but Make Santa Fe, a non-profit, will sell tickets that contestants will use to compete in the games.
