Colors and design

I’m going to be writing about the soap box races I’m going to talk about the designs and colors first ……. The colors have to be cool and used nicely. The design has to be creative like a couch idk but yeah it has to be a cool design.  rules

  And you have to going  at a specific speed to win. you have to be going fast.

push the non-motorized soap box car down the hill and they have to go over obstacles like a bumpy ramp and other ramps some have water or leaves

judging The people in the race have to start at the top (they are in a group ) then one to two people

The judges score the soap box cars on the  speed colors and design of the car and they score you on the time it took you to get down the hill

They get scored in first second or third they also get metals and the first place winner gets a big trophy like a gold cup or metal.

Then they stand on this podium thing they stand in first second or third place they also can wear costumes that match their cars like a cat car they could all dress up as a character that matches it they use thin  bike tires that when used wrong they can bend and snap in half after the jumps that’s why you should use thicker wagon tires

crashes

Sometimes they can crash like they go over a rock or missing a jump and hitting a ramp corner or the wheels buckling in on themselves or they lose control and crash. The races are international
