Cincinnatti, Oh. — The soggy weekend weather pattern did not dampen the spirits of soapbox derby fans in Cincinnati over the weekend. The Red Bull Soapbox Race, a wacky homemade non-motorized car competition was held, but had to end early because of storm conditions. But, 54 teams and their themed crafts were still on display in Eden Park at Mt Adams for fans to admire and enjoy.
Team themes included tractor tributes, a mad manatee, a fiery toaster, a German language tribute, hockey fanatics, clam diggers, Fortnite llama and a barrel of monkeys just to name a few.
The weather was uncooperative resulting in only 26 teams having the opportunity to run the course.
The free outdoor event challenges teams of five from across the country and specifically Ohio to craft their own non-motorized vehicles and test them on a downhill course that spirals through various twists, turns and obstacles.
