" As much as we like power tools, it seems some San Francisco fanatics have us beat. On Sunday afternoon at the Ace International Speedway, nearly 60 &amp;quot;bots&amp;quot; battled it out to reign supreme at the junkyard in the Power Tool Drag Races. Taking handheld power tools and modding them, participants raced their home brewed contraptions down a plywood track in weight classes such as &amp;quot;Super Stock,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Awful Awful Altereds,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Funny Car&amp;quot; for an afternoon of &amp;quot;Massive Milwaukee&amp;quot; glory and &amp;quot;Devastating DeWalt&amp;quot; hilarity. Last year&amp;#039;s event even garnered a spot on the Discovery Channel, along with a prominent mention in our roundup of extreme hobbies (which, if you haven&amp;#039;t read, still makes us want to drop our copy editing pencils and pick up some rocket motors). Now where&amp;#039;s Tim Allen when you need him?\u2014Andrew Nusca If ever there was a time to wear safety goggles: The Power Tool Drag Races. ...And a reason to carry fire extinguishers. Power tools aren&amp;#039;t the only things blasting off. Check out our roundup of extreme hobbies for oversized rocketry, ballistic pumpkins and more.
