only in america - soap box race
Yesterday in Providence the Red Bull Soap Box Race was held. Teams of about five people each created a car that was run by gravity only. Each team performed a skit before they pushed their car, with driver, down the steep streets of college hill.
Some teams spent $1000 - $3000 on their cars. All of the participants wore costumes.

This road kill team came in 4th, I think.
The winning team was "the Good the Bad and the Nerdy". They had a calculator for a car. The judging was based on creativity, showmanship and speed. The Nerds were speedy and funny.
