Race day ended up becoming an oxymoron for me as it was disappointing, but an improvement. Due to unknown reasons possibly including murphy's law and pure bad luck, the first attempt was a misfire and the second was a dud. At least 2 balloons were destroyed during the entire race. The balloon car appeared to have went slower, but due to a different perspective, it actually went faster than previous trial runs. At the least, it went over 5m but unfortunately went a short distance compared to other vehicles.
