So you want to run a race? Here's where you start...

(Fill in info here about how to run a race!)


===== Shopping List =====

Here's the list of things Maker Faire Milwaukee bought... YMMV, and I'll explain more later.

==== Flags ====

  * [[https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XP8DFKX/|(2 pack lot) 2x3 Green Solid Plain Blank Color Flag 2'x3' Banner Grommets]] - Used to start the race.
  * [[https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XP9TJKL/|(2 pack lot) 2x3 Yellow Solid Plain Blank Color Flag 2'x3' Banner Grommets]] - used for cautions. (Get at least 6 flags)

  * [[https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XPLB43L/|(2 pack lot) 2x3 Black Solid Plain Blank Color Flag 2'x3' Banner Grommets]] - Used by Grim to indicate a penalty.
  * [[https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06X3RFQS1/|Checkered Checker Black White 2x3 flag 2'x3']] - Used for the winner. Duh.

==== Fuses ====

[[http://ppprs.2xlnetworks.org/cars/batteries/volts|More info on fuses]]. For Milwaukee we knew what cars were coming so we did not buy every kind of fuse possible.)

  * [[https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/littelfuse-inc/0498040.M/F3089-ND/553447|FUSE AUTO 40A 32VDC]]

  * [[https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/littelfuse-inc/0498125.M/F1879-ND/553453|FUSE AUTO 125A 32VDC]]

==== Transponders ====

  * [[http://rclapcounter.com/|Transpoders]] - Let them know you are using them for the Power Racing Series. It will be a kit you need to assemble. (Just some LEDs and battery connector to solder on.)
  * [[https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00X456V6K/|Duracell Procell 9 Volt Batteries,12 count pack of 2]] - Multiply the number of cars times two for a two day event, and then get a few more. We give each car one battery each day. Note that Orlando has used rechargeable 9 volt batteries.)

==== Medals ====

In Milwaukee we did not have Burke designed medals, so we made our own. Your quantity of Acrylic may be dependent on how many medals you need. (There's a formula somewhere.) Obviously you need a laser cutter to make them. Note that we should update this as Patrick uses different color & thicker material. YMMV.
