Back in the day

 

Here's a picture of the old M.E. Hammer back in 1993 - with the original paint scheme. This is after the first competition (a bittersweet 2nd place overall in the multi-rider category) with the fairing removed. The guy riding stoker is me and the guy riding captain is John Webber. As a freshman, he rode for my team - and afterwards I convinced him to carry on the project, and re-enter the competition with a team of his own.

 

And this is a picture from 1994 in it's second competition. John Webber made some changes to the design (and paint scheme) and went on to win 1st place overall in the multi-rider division. Here John is piloting the vehicle in the straightaway sprint to reach top speed.
