A personal soapbox racing history lesson:

Back in August '07 was when I first jumped in and joined the world of Illegal Soapbox Racers. Although I finished this race, I ended up doing it on only three wheels. Watch this video, and you'll see why. I was the idiot in the wheelchair; my faceplant has become soapbox legend now.
