What a great race!  Three straight days of sunshine, and wonderful contestants.  Ruby the dragon, fresh from her victory in Baltimore's first race, made the long journey to sample the rugged World Championship race.  I think Ruby learned what needs to be improved for next years race.

It was a tough job being an art judge, what with all the bribes and wonderful sculptures it was difficult to pick only one or two.  Several great teams did not receive all the recognition they deserved, namely the school group entry from Sunny Brae, Kinetic Kowabunga, and the Warthog.  Veteran teams returned and all the teams helped each other thru the ordeal.  I can't wait to return myself next year.

This is the slate of entries for the 1999 race in Eureka.   Each thumbnail picture links to a larger picture of each team, so follow the link to see them in their full glory.  Check back later for links to videos for some of the teams.
