Just a silly idea for Your Bat Mobile: wire up a reversible fan in the atomic exhaust section, add a bright orange white light in there and sound effects of the motor firing up and attached inside the ring aways is a set of orange mylar strands. You do the traditional "Atomic batteries to power" routine and when Batman says "Let's roll, Robin", Batman hits a switch, the light and sound comes on and the fan blows the 6-8' long mylar s trands out and Bing!!!!!!; fake atomic flame and no one gets hurt....except from laughing at the cuteness of it.....The kids should go nuts about the effect!!!!! Hope this helps!

Peace,
Larry

I'm watching right now, but haven't seen it from the start. Did the Dynamic Duo run the race yet?

Found it on Youtube, they didn't win, but they did a great job, something to be proud of for sure

The crowd was not happy with the scores from the judges. I agree; they deserved better than 7's.

I looked for the final results, but found nothing so far.

Batman and Robin drove the car and the Joker, Riddler and Catwoman pushed them at the start. I thought the whole team and the car looked great.

Well done guys!

Thanks everyone, we ended up finishing 10th. We had a great time and seemed to be a huge hit with everyone there. They all boo'd the judges when they gave our scores... Lol

Jaqui and I feel that the judges were so stuffy and jealous about the hit that You and Your crew made with the crowd, that to put it politely, You folks got the proverbial metal fastener.....the one with the spiraling ridges on the sides with the point!!!!!

Peace and Good Luck in the next race! :)

Just watched the YouTube clip... that was great! Kudos to everyone involved. The crowd really loved it, and the judges were wrong. You deserved 10's!

The judges were so wrong!! The Back To The Future car looked great as did the batmobile. The 7's were a disgrace for a score. What in the world were they thinking?? Fantastic job guys. Everyone looked great. I especially loved Joker, Riddler, and Catwoman pushing.

Your car is totally awesome. Such attention to detail. Not to mention your crash helmets and the rest of your team. The crowds reaction says it all. Well done.
