No Gauntlet At Soapbox Derby
Somehow I missed the news that this year’s Soapbox Derby has wussed out and “scrapped the post-race gauntlet where all the cars go down together”.
Of course, I say that as someone who is too much of a wuss to speed down Mt. Tabor in a homemade contraption at all.
Nonetheless, without the gauntlet at the end, this would appear to be the dumbing down of yet another Portland institution. Perhaps we need a new blog in town, called Portland’s Future Lame.
