Soap box derby race?

Any chance on making an event like this? I think i would be fun to make something fast with out a motor.

Gary says he got over this in boy scouts. And he said to mount a fuel cell forward in it :stuck_out_tongue:

i am going to strap gary to the front end… and gary wasnt in boy scouts, we all know he did not have the surgery till 16…

I think it would need at least a few rules to not get out of hand…

Say tire/wheel rule (something from Harbor Freight)
Max Weight rule
Material rule for main body (no fiberglass, cf,)

That puts lafengas out of the running…

My approach to this:

Cut the top of of a giant fuel cell to sit in, but point the outlets to the side of the car. The catch is that i will sit backwards in the car and only drive in reverse.

:slight_smile:

I will melt a bunch of soaps together and form a fancy water-repellant box out of it!

They do that near here during the summer though.

i just thought it might be kewl if there is any intrest, very little $$ and at the end soap box demo would be kewl.

for the love of god please stop spelling it “kewl”.

<3 you :slight_smile:
