LA is known for being home to some of the worst traffic in the nation… but this weekend all that traffic might not be such a bad thing. On Saturday (that’s tomorrow, for those of you who might not be counting down the hours already), Red Bull Soapbox is coming to Los Angeles, where forty-two teams will race (and crash) through Downtown LA. But this isn’t your typical NASCAR-style racing…
This year, a banana slug, a pinata, a beaver (crush the Beaver!!!), and a taco are all expected to make their way to the race. More than 200 teams entered their craziest, off-the-wall ideas for go-karts, and Sat. will feature the 42 who made the cut. All teams will be competing to win a trip to the NASCARs, complete with the Red Bull royal treatment (and lots of free Red Bull, I’m sure).
Here are details for Saturday’s event: The pits open at 1am for Soapbox viewing, while the Opening ceremony begins at 12:30pm and the race stars at 1pm. Due to several street closures and large crowds, Red Bull recommends taking public transportation or carpooling. For complete event details or to check out team bios, visit the Red Bull Soapbox home page.
If you’ve never been to a Red Bull event, I guarantee you they’re always a good time. But if you’re on the fence about attending this event and need some added persuasion, check out some of the best (and by best I mean worst) crashes below, courtesy of our friends at Red Bull. See ya there!
