Red Bull Soapbox Races Hit the Streets of Los Angeles,California
iReport — The Red Bull Soapbox races hit the streets of downtown Los Angeles, drawing crowds of over 115,000 people. With temperatures in the 70’s, it was a perfect day for people of all ages to come out & watch this free event. Can't beat that price for an entertaining afternoon. There was a wide range of wild, crazy, innovative, humorous, & very original vehicles & teams. Laker's FanWagon, City of Bell Pickpockets, Green Army Men, Hamster Rampage, & Gone Gaga, to name only a few of the 38 teams that entered to be the soapbox champions.Each vehicle had to be powered by creativity, ingenuity, gravity, & 'the power of the people'. Motorized vehicles of any type were not allowed. The goal, or hope, was to create a vehicle that would finish the challenging course, at high speeds, & in one piece... both the vehicle and the driver! Many teams found themselves running across the finish line with their vehicle being dragged beside them! Unfortunately for Adam Carolla & the Revenge of The Chiliman team, crashing at the 90 degree turn put them out of the running. The winners of the Red Bull Soapbox race 2011 were: 1st Place-Lakers FunWagon 2nd Place-Angry Bird Droppings 3rd Place-The Flying ScotsmenPeople's Choice Award-The Baked Muscles The teams were judged on creativity, speed, and showmanship.
