Fairhope High School

Fairhope High School

The shoes taped onto the pedals are reminiscent of the final race scene in the great bicycling movie, "Breaking Away." This vehicle is from Fairhope (Alabama) High School.

The first Great Moonbuggy Race took place in 1994, to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. It was open only to college entries, and eight teams participated. Two years later, high school teams were allowed to enter.
