Escape From Berkeley (By Any Non-Petroleum Means Necessary) is an alternative-fueled road rally that starts October 10th and ends October 13th. Part engineering problem, part artistic opportunity, the rally challenges contestants to start their “engines” on something other than petroleum based fuel. The rally begins in Berkeley, California, and finishes in Las Vegas, Nevada at the Sahara. Contestants are required to use any fuel other than petroleum, and using only those fuels scavenged “for free” along the way. Fuel cannot be purchased. Judges will present awards for both artistic and technical achievements. Hanging somewhat in the balance, are bragging rights for saving the world. That, and a grand prize of $5,000.
Here are a some of the contenders:
Team Name: The Green Team
Team Name: The Blue Flame Club
Team Name: Neverwas Haul Crew
Team Name: Tom Kimmel
Team Name: Two Cats
