****Not my entry. I'll be making one soon for fun.
Ever heard of a soap box derby? No? Well, it's basicly a bunch of little plywood cars with no engine that roll down hills. Might as well make one.
So, you think you can beat others? Here's how it will be judged:
-Time down the steep incline at Murphy/Yeager Bridge (average out of 3)
-Looks
-Handles
-Specialty (misc stuff, make it unique)
Requirements:
-No power and/or fuel
-Must be able to steer
-Suspension is allowed, nothing beefy
-Less than 7,500lbs.
SimpleThings' Vehicle 7/15, [time]
[Time will be completed later, average of 3 attempts]
Looks: 3/5
Handles: 2/5
Specialty: 2/5
Interesting design, and looks sporty. Steering isn't the best, though.
Davai: 7/15, no time yet.
(Time will be completed later)
Looks: 2/5
Handles: 2/5

It's color scheme is unique!
Firebird's : 5/15
Looks: 2/5
Handles: 2/5
Specialty: 1/5
Using brake would probably help.

@RailfanEthan?
i saw someone making a soap box derby entry so i sort of joined
2 months ago?
i just realised
woah
@EpicFirebird Hmmmm I thought I already scored yours. Apparently not. I'll do it now.
What are my scores?
How do I get it on a hill
IMA do it
@EpicFirebird Yes, I will be checking though.
Can I use engines for design, but not propulsion???
Bro I'm in man can't wait
@SimpleThings I've gone over your vehicle, time trials will be done later.
@RailfanEthan I just uploaded it, I hope it will avenge the one IRL
@SimpleThings Neat! I'm sure you'd be great to enter this comp!
I used to do something called THE PINEWOOD DERBY. Cars with no engine carved out of pinewood. And set to race down a hill
