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!
