Learn to Build Weekend

It was a great weekend for the Derby.

We were at Cruise Nite in Auburn and things were crackin'! We had a few more folks signing up. We will limit entries to 50, but still have a ways to go. Don't procrastinate if you plan on entering. Spots are going and will be gone.

We had our first "help you build" on Sunday the 11th with David Brown. He did a wonderful job helping people with their frames and showing how to get funky for the hill. The turn out was successful. There was lot of great information, ideas and participation.

We added David Potter Photography for all derby related happenings. We will have a history of funky pics for all-take a look at the Funk Box Derby Slideshow by David Potter Photography (www.davidhowlandpotter.com)'

PLUS-PLUS-PLUS look at http://www.funkboxderby.com/ We have footage from past events, this is good. Thank You melissa at ACTV and Cathy Morgan from LACODA TECHNOLOGIES (Cathy built our website)

We do need a few folks who would like to help us coordinate new entrants and sponsors. We need some funky marketing muscle.

Please let me know if you would like to help.

Fourth of July Weekend

Fourth of July weekend was a big one for the Funk Box Derby. There were lots of smile, laughs, crashes and fun!

If you had the opportunity to make it to Colfax, CA, on the 3rd, you were able to witness an exciting Funk Box race. The Scouts made some great runs down Church St. We had about 9 entries and they all had a blast. The kids were equipped with safety gear and mile wide grins. The funk boxes went fast! Lots of excitement ensued with crashing cars along the way... no worries though, everyone was having fun with a few bruises to show off.

The next day in Auburn, the kids from Colfax joined us for the Fourth of July parade into the Auburn fairgrounds. It was a grand event. The streets were saturated with people watching the parade and waiting to see the fireworks. People loved seeing all the kids in their funk box cars. It really made an impression. Plus, the fireworks were kick butt this year. Way to go Auburn!

This is a great precursor for the Auburn September 19, 2010 Funk Box Derby down Lincoln Way in Downtown Auburn. We can have up to 50 cars and are still anxious to see who signs up and sponsors for the race (there is no age limit... just gotta be a kid at heart). This is going to be awesome people. Take the time to build and donate. Be apart of Auburn history!
