OMG!

Hey check this out!

CNW Group | RED BULL CANADA | Media Alert - Red Bull Soapbox Race pit lane open for up close preview of teams and cars

VANCOUVER, Sept. 4 /CNW/ - This SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6th, teams from coast
to coast will be tuning their homemade, human-powered engines and getting
ready to burn rubber down Vancouver's West 4th Avenue at Red Bull Soapbox
Vancouver, and you're invited to speak to the teams and preview the cars -
freshly painted and still in mint condition! Race day is Sunday, September
7th.

Now for the rules of the road: 50 teams of four will race their homemade
dream machines along a 520 metre long downhill track but it's not just speed
that counts! Creativity (shift imagination into sixth gear - we want to see
cars that are unusual, head-turning ...even slightly shocking!) and
showmanship (teams spend one minute on the roadway strutting their stuff in a
pre-race skit) are also a must!

So check your oil and find out who these auto amateurs, gear-heads and
adrenaline junkies are and if they've defied the laws of aerodynamics. They
might even be able to give you a quick driving lesson!

If you can't make it out on Saturday, but would still like a sneak peak,
we're happy to bring a team and their homemade car to you. Just let us know!
