Soap Box Derby, startin them out right!

OK, so there's no motor and they look like futuristic cigars, but they are CARS! My daughter raced her first soap box derby today and we had a blast! She won for best First Day Racing finishing 7th out of 11. The world got lots bigger for her today, she raced her own car and won ribbons and a trophy and she's only eight!!! There's a flathead in her future someday!

 

That's just too cool,,congratulations on a job well done. HRP

 

I wish West Texas had hills..........

 

I thought the highest point in Florida was like 30 feet about sea level! Soap Box Derby racing is great. There are a bunch of cool threads on the Hamb. Check this one out:
