    Here it is ladies and gentlemen,

    Our bellytank soapbox derby car, the: "SOCK ROCKET" The club built this puppy in 2 months. We all got toget and busted our ***es. Everyone pitched in and had a blast. Final paint was done by LAYDRAG a few days before the race. We can't wait til next year.

    As far as the race goes, we placed 3rd overall and beat the Oddrods. Here is a link to the smack talkin post.

    I can't link it, baby. But go tou YouTube.
    Search:"downhill challenge Atlanta 2008", and numerous videos will appear, as if by magic!

    They will be ***led off to the side, "SFCC race 2" and the like.

    Hope to see ya' when you are here!
