Brutal Legend themed Soapbox car wins Red Bull Derby photo

Not too long ago, Dtoider TheBigFeel made a couple of Community Blogs showing off what he and his friends had planned for the Red Bull Soapbox Race that took place over the weekend in Los Angeles. TheBigFeel and friends designed a soapbox based on the Brutal Bus from Brutal Legend and their badass creation won the race! The bus reached speeds of over 46mph which is now the fastest speed ever achieved in a Red Bull Soapbox Race.

A lot of work went into the bus and there’s even some Dtoid loving in the Soapbox too. Congratulations to Team Ironheade on winning the race! Be sure to check out LAist for pictures of the Red Bull Soapbox Race which include some other videogame themed soapbox cars.

I'm planning on continuing to the build-progress cblogs post-mortem. I just found myself without any time those last few weeks :)

If you weren't able to make it to the race, there's a pretty decent montage of the event here: http://www.redbullusa.com/cs/Satellite/en_US/Video/Downtown-Derby-021242781983260

Fantastic job, and congratulations! You've done us proud, and frankly, just the design of the car alone wins. The fact that a record was broken on top of that blows my mind.

What the heck! I knew this was going on, but had no idea a DtoidLAer was competing in it. Why didn't he tell us? =(

weird double post.
@Dex: I'm actually up in here in San Francisco. I was planning on more bloggage just before the race but we honestly didn't get any sleep between wednesday and the race. But I'm back and settled now. More stuff is coming.

Too much metal for one race. It HAD to win.

Congrats guys, not just on winning the race, but on a badass Soapbox car, too.

That's is damn cool. Good to see you've won the race but you were a winner already when you started building the car.
