Kendall Ford chooses Every Kid Sports as their nonprofit beneficiary!
Kendall Auto hosted their 2nd annual Soapbox Derby at the River’s Edge Golf Course. 14 teams participated and showcased their creative designs, fun engineering, and team spirit in the form of handcrafted soapbox cars. Each car is handcrafted, custom designed, and thoughtfully engineered then placed on display for the community to admire, take pictures with, and vote for “Favorite Car.” Following the pre-show, it was time to race; down the twisted course testing both drivers and cars.
Each team must chose a nonprofit as their beneficiary for the top placed finishers and “Favorite Car,” to split the prize money with their beneficiary.
Peach’s Posse presented by Kendall Ford
The team showed ready to compete with a Mario Kart theme featuring Princess Peach! The design was a red Mario Kart fixed with red “life balloons,” turtle shells to throw, and full team support; Princess Peach (of course), Mario, Luigi, Donkey Kong, and team leader Andy.
Peach’s Posse successfully took to the course on a test run and successfully ran the full course for time, others were less fortunate. With 9 of the 14 teams successfully completing the test run.
Time to race!
Time for the first heat and clock in the official times. Peach’s Posse came to the start line, ready to race, excited, and amping up the crowd. Great start off the line, skillfully maneuvering through the hay bale obstacles, twisting through the course, and then the big hoorah! Time to jump the ramp!
The crowd is anticipating the jump as Peach’s Posse is on the path to lift-off, up the ramp and off the jump! Then down, down, down for a hard landing. The Kart sustained heavy damaged. Breaks are gone! Peach’s Posse Kart is roaring down the straight to the finish line, no breaks and coming in fast! With quick thinking the driver uses his shoe soles to slow and eventually stop the runaway Kart.
As the team runs to meet at the finish line and assess the damage, it is not just the breaks that are gone, the metal frame is in two pieces. The racing is over for team, Peach’s Posse.
The racing may be over for Peach’s Posse but the day isn’t.
