Soap Box Derby with Wacky Cars Comes to Jerusalem

Jerusalem's Sacher Park was the scene yesterday for the first Israel Soap Box Derby, sponsored by Red Bull. Wackiness was the theme of the day, with "cars" -- they could not have motors or pedals -- decked out as a chariot, carrot, ice cream cone, Teletubbies, Transformers, a rack of pitas stuffed with falafel, and other over-the-top designs.
