The Power Racing Series (PPPRS) is one of the most dynamic events at Maker Faire, as speed-demon hackerspace members race around a track in hacked and modded toy cars. One of the PPPRS events is a “moxie” challenge where racers perform silly stunts for the crowd. This slideshow shows some scenes from the moxie challenge as well as the races that followed.
