As many of you already know, there's this funny contest going on on Reasonably Clever.com. It involves Cave Racers piloted by animals.

Since I already wanted to build Cave Racers, and I would not refuse a free Speed Racer set, I decided to try my hand with this theme.

Here are my creations:

Name : Dark Wings

Descriptive text : Inspired to the Batwing, this Racer takes its name from a song by Within Templtation.

The Rat Race made me smile. In a strange way, it's kind of cute. I can see clearly the Batwing inspiration in the bat one, and I particularly like the T-Bone. Nice work all round.

I assume you're entering all of these?

Thanks for the nice comments :blush: .

Yes, I entered all of them. You know, I started building the first, and then I couldn't stop :grin: .

Btw, Rat Race is probably the most funny thing I ever built :wink: [did you notice the thief behind the grill in the basement?].

Oh, don't we all have times like that.

No, I-- Oh, very nice! :laugh:

Good luck in the contest, btw.

The one with the shark is my favorite.

Thanks, and Welcome to EB :thumbup: .

You know, I had this fantasy of making a shark-driven shark racer :wacko: .

It took me a while to come with the right shape and commands combination, and to find a new way to connect the pilot without using the stud holes under the shark's belly. I'm quite happy with what I got in the end :classic: .

I think it's a splendid idea and very well built :wink:

Thanks :blush:

I hope the judges'll have your same opinion :classic:
