What we came up with is the Electric Zeppelin Racing League.
The goal is to have (small) people compete in electric zeppelin races - electric powered vehicles that fly across the room suspended by a wire.
The inspiration for this project is the BSA's Space Derby and the Power Racing Series. We wanted higher speed, longer distances, so electric powered zeppelins were born!
