Richards Castle Soapbox Derby (picture heavy)

Post by TJJ »

On Sunday Richards Castle held its annual Soapbox Derby on a 550 metre downhill course. There were various classes of entry for senior and junior participants on the timed course, with some amazing creations taking part. Some were in both Senior and Junior categories, which is shown by a double entry number.

Senior 4-wheel entries

12 South Shropshire Tiger 1 Owners Club – a rather battered version of Tiger 131, which is featured in another thread about the tank at Bovington. This has entered many times and is missing various bits which have dropped off over the years!

Ha ha class! Love the Tiger but quite like some of the others e.g. Runaway Baby.

Nice one.
