Red Bull Soapbox Derby

It’s that time of year where we can have some fun posting images that we take over the course of our lives…so, to start things off – About a month ago, my little brother Loren raced in the Red Bull Soapbox derby race! After getting the hookups with the media pass, we went nuts on some photos! This was the biggest event ever at Red Rocks…even bigger than the Beatles…if you can believe that! Normally the venue holds about 9k people, but there were 25,000 all thru the rocks and next to course…plus, they turned about another 25,000 away! Unbelievable!

Check out my little bro…before the race he was a nervous wreck hoping that his brakes would work! See brakes a few images later…

The car that he builit

Brass Knuckle brake handle…priceless

Here he is hitting the chicane…at about 30mph – the brakes didn’t work luckily

After the race…only minor dents and a missing headlight

Directly after the race, you can actually see the nerves wash off of him

We took little belski along! She had so much fun throwing rocks…didn’t really care about the race, though. Gotta work on that. Note to self…Rocks, YES Soapbox Derby…NO

Loren finished .007 faster than everyone, but ended second because of the other team’s skit. His car is now on display at the Garage (a bar in downtown)
