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!

Exactly!

Well Jared kicked Jensen's oh so cute butt.

[ROCKSTAR]

I don't know how Jared and Jensen fit into those cars, but it's so cute them racing each other.

I wonder what they think about everyone now wanting them to do everything together. I wonder if they'll get sick of each other.

[~CountryBumpkin~]

NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN! if it was it would have happened by now.

I know!! Jared especially, it's amazing he fit in there.

I admire them, I think I would've gotten sick of my best buddie being with them all that time.

I know. The cars look so uncomfortable too. Hee.

[~CountryBumpkin~]

Me too, I don't think there is a person on the planet I can spend that much time with. It's kinda insane.

He was almost wearing the car.

[angelface211]

Ya its hilarious how they actually fit into the cars

He's up against some great actors, but I'm sure he can take them.
