It's Derby Time

My hometown hosts the All American Soap Box Derby each year at Derby Downs. This is a clean-cut, all-american event for kids.

Each year Portland hosts our own version of the Soap Box Derby. Our version is for adults. It looks amazing and each year I intend to check it out...perhaps tomorrow we'll actually go and see this for ourselves.
The PDX version of the derby takes place on a volcano (Mt. Tabor). There are some (but not many) rules. Some of my favorite rules are:
  • NO KEGS! Cans and bottles are fine.
  • NO BOOZE! Parks does not permit hard liquor. Drink your vodka later on.
  • Keep your beers in the “Beer Garden” – this year the “Beer Garden” means the 10 feet
    either side of the entire course.
  • Pick up your trash and don’t pee in the bushes
