Anyway, as an official gearhead for life, I have to love these folks and their crazy machines. I live not too far from these wingnuts so I might have to go and check them out next time they have a gravity race. I might even decide to join them; I have enough spare parts around the yard to assemble a death-defying, balls-out downhill killing machine... Thanks for posting this and spreading the word to more irresponsible males in need of yet another stupid hobby. By the way, you can also see an extensive coverage of this silliness in the current issue of Hot Rod Magazine, available now at your local newsstand.

I mean, basically they are riding the legal equivalent of bicycles, which means the only illegal part isn't the soapboxes themselves but the fact that they run stop signs, drive on the wrong side of the road, and generally are reckless.
