Al Krause, 23 year veteran of kinetic racing, and his co-pilot 4 year vet Bernard Fosnaugh, astounded many by completing the entire 3 day 38 mile course from Arcata to Ferndale in one day.

The "May Day Mad Dash" or "Extreme Kinetic" began at 8:30 am May 1st, 1999 and after successfully negotiating all historic portions of the
course finished in Ferndale at 6:30 pm.

This new record of 7:46 minutes had only one time out period, at
Fields Landing bay entrance, for water preparation, correct tidal conditions, and a lunch break. Riding a proven 3 wheeled recumbent/upright tandem with inflatablepontoons and a "Windwrap" fairing by Mueller Human Power, Al and Bernard pushed themselves at an incredible pace, many times beating their motorized support crews to the next destination.

With no breakdowns and only a light morning drizzle to contend with the duo made history by going "all the way in a day". Krause was quoted as saying, "We all had a really great time and hope to go even faster next year."
Bernard added,  "This (event) should be looked at as a great leap for Kinetics around the world.   Some say the point in doing a kinetic race is to have fun, but there is also a great challenge in kinetic racing that some people  must have forgotten about.  I love to have a lot of fun and equally a great challenge.  In doing this race we challenged ourselves, and upped the ante a bit . The technology is in front of us, so why not take up the challenge to do better?  I wanted to do better and had a tremendous amount of fun doing so." This Extreme Kinetic event has significantly raised the bar of kinetic achievement and renewed the original spirit of kinetic racing.
