Red Bull Soapbox derby - why are they dressed up so weird?

Hello everyone,

So there is going to be multiple updates in the coming days but here is the first one that goes back to Oct 25th.

Dad spent the day at Veloswap selling his old bike and parts and coming home with a pocket full of cash that he proceeded to give straight to Mommy. But Grammy, Poppie, Mommy and I went to the Red Bull soapbox derby up at Red Rocks. We had to park down at Bandimere Speedway and take a bus up to the races. At some point during the morning, there were almost 30,000 people trying to get up to the races and the city of Morrison had to close all roads in. People walked for miles and miles to get up to the races.

There was some really cool cars there. They picked 30 teams for a lottery of hundreds and they all had themes. Below are some of the pictures that Mommy took while we were up there. I know have a lot of new friends to hang out with.

We dont need No Stinkin Badges.....this might be the cast of Blazing Saddles???

Just checking the results at the end of the day...how did my team do?

Grammy, it is not Halloween yet....but she hung out with the fishes all afternoon

Did the chicken come before the egg? How did he get his feet to stay straight all day?

This "duck" was made completly out of duct tape....who knew they made yellow duck/duct tape?

More cowbell? I thought that was the band that played at our BBQ in Sept? Who is this guy? And why is there a cow next to me?

How is that guy going to get into such a small stagecoach? And what is he going to shooting with that gun?

This might have been the best soapbox at the race. They were all dressed up like characters from the movie Ferris Bueller's Day off. They did not sing Paul Anka's Twist and Shout though.

I will be doing another update tomorrow about Halloween.

Talk to you soon.....
