don’t try this at home

or anywhere else for that matter

So you may have seen the mad skillz on our boy Tim Sutton, as evidenced in the pages of our very own Garage Magazine. He’s photog extraordinaire. What you may not have known is that he’s also gots some even madder skillz he busts out when he’s not behind the camera. He and his band of  knucklehead buddies risk life and limb on the weekends, all in the name of going fast.

They do this little thing called soapbox racing. It’s ummmm….slightly illegal. Or as Tim likes to call it, “stupid 12 year old fun. It’s sorta like Fight Club.” And they’ve got a website…Did Fight Club have a website? It’s at scisr.org. That stands for So Cal Illegal Street Racers. Catchy.  Check out his antics, but like we said above, don’t try this on your own. Well, unless you’ve got an old Sega Video Arcade chassis you can strap into.

    There are youths in Alaska (to include other states) that compete in those Soap Box Derbys. Its a community event. Some do it for an opportunity to race at the Soap Box Derby finals in Ohio every year. Totally RAD!!!
