The Pigeon Racer Wins!

Soup Box Derby Day 2010

First Street in Langley becomes the race course for the Soup Box Derby every September. Years ago there was a restaurant in Langley called the Soup Kitchen which sponsored the first races thus the name Soup (not soap) Box Derby.

It didn't happen for many years and was revived almost a decade ago and continues to grow into a great family event for the comunity and every racer walked away with a trophy and a smile. And the crowd? Well, they were a happy lot.

The two finalists were the Mukilteo Yacht Club Racer, second place, and The Pigeon Racer, first place.

The Mukilteo Yacht Club racer, coming from across the water, placed second. Built to soup box speck and shaped in a wind tunnel, it was the expected winner to be.

But The Pigeon Racer here with Brad Hankins and Jimmy Cussen was the winner!

Jimmy and Brad's first team effort ends with smiles and success.
