FAST!!!!

***!!! WARNING !!!***

SOAP BOX RACING IS INHERENTLY DANGEROUS

AND MAY RESULT IN BODILY INJURY OR DEATH. 

DO NOT ENTER UNLESS YOU UNDERSTAND THAT.

 

Like: downhill cycling, mountain biking, skiing, skateboarding, snowboarding, bmx, rollerblading, and other extreme and non-extreme activities.  Soap box racing is dangerous, cars can reach upward of 50+ m.p.h.. Soapbox events are held on public roads and variable conditions always exist.  The fact that your soapbox car will have, steering, brakes, and maybe a roll cage and seat belts should not imply that this activity is safe in anyway.   Soapbox karts should obey all traffic rules to the same effect as a bicyclist, skateboarder, wheelchair or any other NON-motorized activity that may occupy the roadway.

 

If you are not comfortable with high speeds, danger, and possibly death then please,

DO NOT ENTER!

 

By entering and participating, YOU assume ALL liability for your actions and the outcome that may result.

You agree to hold NO ONE else responsible for anything that may happen before, during or after any of our events.

 

 

It is up to YOU to understand the risks and your participation means YOU know that bodily injury, emotional injury, financial injury, bodily death, emotional death, or financial death may be the result.  YOU agree to hold everyone harmless should things go terribly wrong.

 

Further more, you agree to accept any penalties that may come your way as a result of your actions and not try to pass them along to some one else.

Still think it's kid's stuff? 
Here's a few comments gleaned from the message boards.
 

I can't really move my neck. My back is killing me. Its really hard to breath and my back and shoulder are eaten up pretty bad.
My car is wasted.

 

 

Travis I hope you are better than you looked after the race, and The Guy who drove one of DINO'S cars who flipped too.  

 

 

Cops...and then a firetruck... and then more cops. Awesome.

 

 

Whoever said that Maryland was completly flat hasnt done 50mph on wet pavement with no engine in a homemade soapbox car. 

 

There was one run down the hill then the cops showed up to write a parking ticket and everybody scattered like cockroaches. I think they all have warrents or something.

 

 

But after the big crash I think his driver quit.

 

 

That crash on the video was no accident, thats how he plays the game.

 

 

My car destroyed, my elbow hurts, my back aches and I have an itty bitty cut on my pinkey finger.

 

 

I limp into my house with my car in a shambles and my wife says " YOUR A LOSER " and laughs.

 

 

I ache, just sitting still. When I try and move, I'm sore and stiff.

 

 

Well you can change Kevin’s to BrokenBonesKevin.    He should get a hospital patch once they are made.   He is getting his cast today but yesterday's ex-rays confirmed broken bones in the left foot.  He's in good spirits and hopes to race this weekend with his cast... We'll see... I’m thinking more like camera duty.

 

 

 

he used to wear a half face too! Glad he listened to our recommendation because his face would have been mangled, the whole front was completely scraped up.
