Telstar Logistics has the skinny on this year’s edition of the San Francisco Illegal Soapbox Derby. It’s up on Bernal Hill, dangerous as can be, and minus all the corporate pomp of that other thing. Plus there’s a kickoff party tonight at Bender’s. Full details, as well as photos and video from past editions, here.

Per a posting on a list I’m a member of:
This weekend on the Bernal Hill was to be the Soap Box Derby. I have
just been informed that the event is illegal and SFPD with RPD Park
Patrol will force the cancellation of the event.Please be advised and
spread the word.
Thanks,

Sucks.
It’s been going on for years with no problem. Quit trying to kill all the fun in SF!
(Spread the word: It’s still happening.)
I saw 2 park rangers up on the hill :(
i guess they are there to put a beat down on some good old-fashioned fun
it was pretty slippery up there, so not ideal conditions for racing
