A friend and co-worker of mine is trying to get this event going. I want to see it happen and it needs participants. Gravity powered land speed racing in the bay area...what could be more fun. http://sjsoapbox.com/ If enough people sign on for this year it will happen and be an ongoing thing, the first year is an uphill battle. -Jeff
"uphill battle" for a down hill race.... That's a good one! Maybe you could recruit some out of towners from http://www.ncderby.com/ ?
He's participated in that event, and is trying to get as many as possible to sign up for this one in San Jose.
