RedBull came to town to host the Denver Soap Box Derby. It was a much bigger event than we were expecting.
The line to get in was quite long but moved very fast. The food truck meals and snacks we saw looked good. The crowd was enormous. It was very hard to see much of anything, so as soon as we found a vantage point, we didn’t move. It was also brutally hot, so we only saw about a dozen of the 35ish teams.
Every team did a tiny 30-second skit before they headed down the ramp. Then, they headed down the big ramp, around a banked bend we couldn’t see, through the “mine drop” that we also couldn’t see. Next, they turned a corner, headed for the ramp for the jump, and then snaked their way to the end. They didn’t have to drive to the finish; if they could carry their car or all of it’s parts across, that counted.
Apologies for the weak pics….we were very far away.
RedBull, you need to DO BETTER. Where were the recycling bins? Where were the extra trash cans?
