Baltimore Kinetic Sculpture Race
2013 Race Report: Jemicy’s You Know the Drill, Hammer Time, and Gut Wrencher

You Know the Drill was the largest of three sculptures from Baltimore’s Jemicy School. Like the other Jemicy entries, it achieved an ACE award.

The Gut Wrencher pilot discovered the chill of the harbor. Kinetic rules specify that no more than 8% of a pilot’s body can be wet from the water.

An unassisted exit from the water is one of the hardest steps to winning an ACE award—but Gut Wrencher did both smoothly.

The Hammertime pilot received coaching and encouragement—but no pushing—to complete the difficult mud section and also win an ACE.

ACE judges follow every ACE-eligible entry to ensure they follow the stringent additional rules. This judge has furry magenta horns and cowboy boots.
