Hundreds thronged the Arcata Plaza this morning to watch high-speed human-powered horses, teeth, spaceships, asteroids, and other assorted animals and vehicles of all kinds kick off the Kinetic Grand Championship. Over the next three days, over 40 teams and 300 racers will race their creations over 50 miles on pavement, sand, and water all the way down to Ferndale.
