PRS Fact of the Day. Only 3 teams have won more than 10 races in the league. The top 3 all-time winners represent nearly 50% of all accounted race wins.
Our racing league is very much into Wu-Tang, it's just that we can't blast half of their discography at Maker Faire because "the children" #wutangisforthechildren #weteachthechildren

In 2017, there were 87 tiny electric cars that raced our league. There were also 16 different winners across 8 events.

Cartastrophe had an early lead but an epic Häkkinen-level pass by Phantom Power Racing stole the win with 10 laps to go! Omaha in 3rd.

Stat: As of the end of the 2014 season 40% of ALL our race-winning drivers are women. That should be normal in EVERY sport.
