Soapbox Racers

On Sunday, we went to the Cubs (& Scouts) Soapbox Racer event. It was held at a farm about 18km (near enough to 10 Miles) west of here; on a long hillside, ideal for racing...with two lanes mowed. Well! You would not believe, the variety of little vehicles that trundled up to the start line! Small wheels, medium-sized wheels, three wheels, four wheels...pram wheels; bicycle wheels; motorbike wheels.....just amazing! More than once, the wheels fell off the "Racer" at the bottom of the hill; prompting laughs, cheers & jeers! Jamie won his opening race; I saw him in another, where he gave it a go. More soon!
