Featured Teapot Racer: "Death Becomes You"

This week's featured teapot racer is "Death Becomes You", which was driven by Maddox Haycrett, our youngest contestant at the Big River Steampunk Festival's Splendid Teapot Races this year.




Somebody dropped a teapot on the Wicked Witch.



We could all learn something about handling frustrating situations by watching 4 year old, Maddox. There were some technical difficulties with his vehicle, but he never lost his cool and just figured out how to keep going.






Watching him with his dad, it is obvious that Maddox is a fast learner. He starts out with Dad's help, but does the second half of the course on his own. I hope he comes back to race again. It will be fun to see the amazing job he does next year.
