Soap Box Derby - White Squirrel Festival 2010

Start your engines!! Gone are the days of boring
pine car derby days when you were a cub scout,
time for some serious racing!


Like I said, serious stuff. Corporate sponsorship
and Dads to hold your helmet while you adjust
your fuzzy dice so you can see out the front
windshield.


Well, not everyone was so serious. This young
girl's box was light hearted.


OK, now back to the serious side. Last minute
instructions from Dad..."Go straight and fast!"


Raring to go...


Waiting patiently to take this sleekly designed
vehicle down the hill.


Final adjustments being made. And check out
his hat, you just can't hire guys like this on the
pro circuit, would cost you a fortune to get them
to wear those beanies.


Last, but certainly not least. I didn't know the
King was such a big race fan. Yeah, he used to play a race
car driver in some of his movies, but to stop on by this event,
he must be a true fan! Nice pink shirt by the way, yeah my wife
made me buy one too!
