Soap box derby car

Wow! That is radical! I'm thinkin' I would want something pretty solid between the rear wheel and the part of me in front when I am sitting... but that's just me. Way cool project.

Looks much better in motion Eric, the pictures had me thinking that was like a 21'' bicycle wheel. Is the tall lever in front just for manually maneuvering the cart around?

The tall lever is a push bar. They let you have a pusher for some of the heats. It does also work great for wheeling the thing around.

It is a motorcycle wheel. The rim is cracked so I wouldn't run it on a bike but for a gravity powered car it is fine.

I like the part on the video where your girlfriend says, "There's my crazy boyfriend". I think she likes you.

Bit too much pedal. Stay in the grooves next time or pull the chute.

At least the seat's ventilated. Less to clean up.
