Nevada City Adult Soapbox Derby 2011

In case you missed the very first Nevada City Soapbox Derby, we took plenty of pictures! The course ran down almost all of Nimrod Street in Nevada City. The soapbox cars went flying by Pioneer Park this afternoon to improve and support the park. At least 42 cars were submitted to race. Each one was unique and some were made independently and others were made by local businesses. Some were fast and aerodynamic, while others were goofy and clunky. Local businesses including South Pine Cafe, Tour of Nevada City Bicycle Shop, Empire Fence, BYOB, Mountain Recreation, and Nevada City Winery all entered cars. Take a look at a few of our photos below, and see the rest HERE. Read more information about the derby on our previous blog post.
