Baltimore Kinetic Sculpture Race
2026 Race Report: Wings of De Fire



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

Wings of De Fire

With a smiling sun shining above, Wings of DeFire from the Philadelphia Dumpster Divers portrays a panicked Icarus plunging toward the earth, his wings melting and ablaze.

The recumbent trike featured pontoons wrapped in orange and black material.

Now this is a splash, perhaps expected when flaming wings crash into water.

The 8% TOTAL BODY WETNESS RULE states:

Pilots are only allowed 8% total area of body/clothes wetness. The point here is to stay out of the Harbor waters. Therefore every effort should be made to keep bodies above the Harbor water line. Wear a good anti-perspirant. (penalty: 30 minutes)

Well, the penalty is only 30 minutes.

Time to clean up.

The Dumpster Divers have raced since 1999; they’re older than this website:
