Hampton Roads Splendid Teapot Racing

Full Description
We are Hampton Roads Splendid Teapot racing. We started Splendid Teapot Racing at MarsCon and RavenCon in Williamsburg a number of years ago. Teapot Racing was also featured at the Steampunk Festival at the Hampton History Museum and at Anime Mid-Atlantic in Virginia Beach and the NASA Makers Fair in Hampton. Splendid Teapot Racing is a Steampunk sport that began in New Zealand and has quickly become a worldwide Steampunk event. Designed to be accessible for the average person, it features an obstacle course of jumps, ramps, and several delicately-balanced, breakable china teacups and saucers, that must be negotiated using a remote-controlled vehicle decorated with a teapot. Check out our FB page, “Splendid Teapot Racing Hampton Roads, Virginia” to see pictures and videos. All you need is a remote-controlled vehicle; removing the top and adding a teapot or tea kettle makes it a Teapot Racer. Other decorations can include most anything, but a teapot must be included. In addition to the timed race, points are awarded for costuming, presentation, and entertainment value. Bribes to the judges are not only encouraged, but expected.
