This is race #2 of the 2009 race season, The Sir Isaac Newton Memorial trophy Dash.  Run in memory of the guy who recognized GRAVITY!
Sir Isaac Newton was born on January 04, 1643 and he died on March 31, 1727. 

Since we don’t race in January it’s difficult to have a race celebrating his birth.

And since this is the closest race to the date of his death, it just seems fitting that this race be in his memory.

2008Our First Race Season

We finally got some race video!  This is raw footage of race #3 of the 2008 season.  Because of high traffic and no help, we decided to abandon our run on OH ELLA and go run ILL CHESTER again.
 
We only had 2 cars show up for this event.  Drscope finished first with Jolla's Roller just 4 seconds behind at the end of the run.

VIDEO FOOTAGE FROM OTHER GROUPS AROUND THE WORLD

This is footage from the SFVISBF race, A BRIDGE TOO FAR, held on July 13, 2008. 
Race date 07/13/08 the course was entitled “Bridge Too Far” as the windy canyon road’s lowest point and the end of the course was a large bridge. The total course length was about 3 miles long and featured many medium grade turns to test the driver’s skill. We had 27 racers up on this hill, going to show that the SFVISBF is still a force to be dealt with. Below is a link to some footage that one of the drivers’s put together from the front pack of cars, worth a look. The second clip is from a mid-pack driver. It’s not a Neighborhood Watch vid, but still entertaining. Also are a few pics of some of the action. There were no mishaps or accidents on this run; the group was in high spirits as we continue our soapbox journey. The front pack attained speeds in excess of 55mph, feels really fast when you're inches from the ground. Anyway, enjoy.

SFVISBF Soapbox Race 10/14/07

Ol' Malachi Crunch
Adam Guzman drew the ACE card for the start. However his crew chief did not prepare the car for the race correctly. A body for aerodynamics and weight would have sealed the deal. Live and learn. We'll be back. Oh ya, and a little shout out to MIKE Lucky 13 for pulling it out. We would like to be like mike. On the win only!
