Urban Challenge National Championships

It seems appropriate that the Urban Challenge National Championships took place in Las Vegas — a city where nobody is from and yet everyone knows, a fantastic city where anything is possible and the right move will get you $50,000 in a heartbeat.

Start and Trivia Challenge
The long day started with teams arriving just after dawn to Jillian's, official race headquarters. Racers spent the time before the Trivia Challenge hydrating, stretching, and meeting other teams.

The Trivia Challenge began with a rousing video featuring footage from all the races of the 2002 season. "We would've gone out and went to war barehanded after that video!" was how one Urban Challenger described it.

The semifinals Trivia Challenge was probably the most difficult to date (see the trivia). Scores were lower than regular season's, despite this being the cream of the UC crop. Two teams, unfortunately, forgot to write their team number at the top of their cards, and found out the hard way that they were to be the last to leave. Ouch!
