My name is Katie Wilson. I am a graphic designer for MAKE Magazine. I saw
the WSJ article that ran on the Kart culture in SF, and if I'm not mistaken
you're part of that. I am also a friend of Keef's.

The next issue of MAKE is Karts and Wheels and we're looking for entries
into our Kart Contest. Would you be interested or able to contact others who
might be? Here are the deets. Or you can contact me at kwilson at oreilly.com

Cheers!

Wanna get published in MAKE magazine? Here's your chance! We've been having
a lot of fun over on our DIY library, Make: Projects, seeing the clever
projects shared by our community. So we came up with a simple little contest
to showcase your skills (and give you an excuse to get your build on over
the holidays).

The theme for the upcoming MAKE Volume 26 is "Karts and Wheels," and we know
you've got some great builds that fit the bill. Go-karts, electric bikes and
scooters, biodiesel buggies, powered skateboards, self-balancing whatsits,
illegal soapbox derby cars, taco trikes, high-tech chariots -- if it's got
wheels and carries a person, we want to see it.

The rules are simple:

1. Come up with a cool, original go-kart or alt wheels project fitting the
Volume 26 theme.
2. Document your build step-by-step with clear instructions and photos, then
share it on Make: Projects.
3. Send an email to wheels at makeprojects.com with a link to your Make:
Projects entry when you're done. Easy!

The editors of MAKE will then pick the best project, polish it up, and
publish it in MAKE Volume 26. Entries will be judged on the quality of the
documentation as well as the originality/coolness of the project. The
deadline for entries is 11:59 PDT on January 17, 2011.

All entries will be judged by the editorial staff of MAKE based on the
following judging criteria: (a) Creativity of Idea: 25%; (b) Project
Execution: 25%; (c) Quality of Written Documentation: 25%; and (d) Quality
of Documentation Photography: 25%. The entry with the highest total score
among all judging criteria will be the chosen as the Grand Prize Winner.

The winning entry will be published in MAKE Volume 26, and will be a
Featured Project on Make: Projects. The 3 runners-up will be featured on
Makezine.com and mentioned in MAKE Volume 26.
