Just visiting fromm Wordless Wednesday....what a fun post!! We just don't have anything quite like this out here in California. Perfect for kids, and it rewards patience since it seems to take quite some time to get the car ready!

What fun! When I was a kid they did these races right by my house. Thanks for sharing and bringing back that memory for me. Happy WW. So glad you linked up.

I didn't even know that soapbox car events still existed this day in age. So cool that they still do! And awesome pictures!

I used to race Soap Box Derby cars (1996-2004)! Your pictures are awesome. Hope your racer did well.
