The World Championship Kinetic Sculpture Race is a 38 mile course stretching from Arcata to Ferndale, California. It involves treacherous sand dunes, an open water bay crossing, and a steep slippery-slimey mud slope. The Race vehicles are called Kintetic Sculptures because they are entirely people-powered contraptions built for all terrains. Over 100, one to ten man sculptures compete in this great race which began in 1969. Carl Ackerman produced and directed these films with one airing on PBS and clips from others shown Internationally on Beyond 2000 and ESPN 2.
