Baltimore Kinetic Sculpture Race
2022 Race Report: Big Lady



Here's a Sculpture!
< Previous Page Next Page >

Big Lady

For its Time Warp theme, Big Lady captured the rococo style of Marie Antoinette. This was the first entry from Team Poorly Drawn Bikes from across Maryland.

The 2-pilot sculpture had wooden pontoons and a trailer carrying the 12-foot tall figure. Keep a close eye on Marie’s face.

The statue encountered a low-hanging tree on Federal Hill, exposing her papier-mâché head.

That’s Frou Frou the poodle on the front.

The pontoons provided plenty of floatation, but her hairdresser must be in despair.

Don't miss the roly-poly unicorns, one on each side.

Paddles bore the team’s name.

After a wardrobe refresh, Big Lady made it through the mud with a lot of pushing.

Don’t miss the white cake, as in “Let them eat cake.”

Ready for Wash World.

At Patterson Park, the team presented an $8,008.50 check as bribe to Top Kop Margo.

They pulled through the entire race…

…and after crossing the finish line were awarded Best Pit Crew for their attentiveness and epeditious obstacle transversal.
