Follow this link to view the entry categories and rules Since we launched the Soap Box Derby event we have been asked by one or two people "What does a Soap Box look like?" So we have attempted a drawing for those of you who are eager to get started on building and trialling you own.
Forgive the poor drawing standard, but it's some time since we have been asked to draw something like this free hand and we could not find any photo's - but this will do until we have made one and then we'll photograph that and load it onto these pages for all to see. 
How to build one:The drawing on the right may take a little while to load as its a bit bigger than we would normally use, but hopefully it will be worth it.
I wonder if we could win the Turner Prize with this?
As you will see the drawing is of a simple basic go-cart or bogie, consisting of a few planks of wood, two axles and four wheels. It's important to remember that the front wheels have to be able to turn so make sure they are fixed with a nut and bolt and that you use washers to make sure the wheels can turn. The back set of wheels are naturally fixed and don't need to move. You can download a bigger picture for your use in making a go-cart or bogie by clicking on the link below.
