Horsepower Hooligans Soapbox Race Day!
It should be noted that Westen did show up with his car but sadly the steering linkage snapped and could no be fixed. Instead Westen and his dad raced together using the yellow Gokart!
First off is the members and their cars that showed up!
Next comes some of the soapbox cars that showed up!
The black "Jeep" one was made from the chassis of kid's quad! Had the best steering and breaking system there and was pretty speedy! The go karts that you see all had the engines removed and were speedy as well although they could be beaten. The wire frame car with the scorpion on it was the very last car to race and was wrecked. Kid was fine although luckily he had a full helmet on as he landed on his face.
Here's a picture of Westen's sister and her "car". This was a very fast little thing although very touchy to steer. She won in her weight class although her winning race she rolled it after crossing the finish line. She was fine with nothing more than a bruise and a tiny amount of road rash on her foot. She didn't win best rollover trophy either, that was given to a kid who rolled the Mystery Machine. He had more slight injuries but was fine and laughed when he got the trophy.
This car was pretty fast although it started slowing down due to the way the brake system would stop one back tire. Pretty soon the back tire started developing flat spots.
We had people on Quads with tow ropes to drag the kids and their carts back up to the top!
Races were done 1 on 1 in a round robin event!
Here's Westen getting his medal for winning his weight class and I believe the trophy is the "Bad Luck" trophy on his car breaking down before he could race it.
This is Cameron who owns the Hot Rod car the club built! He too won his weight class! Yes his has a Hooligans shift on, the logo is just on the back!
Here is the kid who won the random draw for the Mystery Machine! Go figure it was a kid with a hooligans shirt on!
Then there was a trophy for people's choice of best looking car! John-Paul and Renee got the trophy for the Hot Rod Soapbox!
Here are all the Hooligan Built cars to date!
Here are the drivers! Westen didn't want to be in the picture because he didn't get to drive his car.
