Red bull soap box rally

Red bull held their soap box rally competition on Saturday in dolores
park, just 2 blocks away from my apartment. Contestants built cars
over the last couple months and performed a skit to theme music before
embarking on their journey down the hill from 20th street to the
finish line 18th. Powered only by gravity, the cars reached max
speeds of over 35mph. Jumbotrons throughout the park showed us close
ups of the cars, skits, and wipeouts. A panel of judges scored each
run, and the race was televised at 4 local bars as well. I was
surprised to see so many people show up, but it was a beautiful day.
We saw about half of the racers, then left for brunch. :)
