#11 Hi-tech soap box derby. Some of the manufacturers and F-1 teams participate. Many of the cars are made out of carbon fiber and many have been wind tunnel tested.

#12 Honda GP bike from the 60s. Transverse mounted inline 6 - revs to about 20,000 rpm. Most amazing racket you've ever heard...

#13 They have all the modern supercars (their term) there, including the usual complement of Porsche, Ferrari, Mercedes AMG, etc. This year they had the C6 Vette, too. The cars get driven up the hill pretty hard. Check out the damage on this $250,000 Lamborghini Murcielago. The guy forgot he had to turn and buried the thing almost completely in the hay bales, full airbag deployment,etc. I'm lookin' for a new job, baby, a new job!

Cool pics. I gotta get over there. I read in the past about the soap box derby and laughed till my sides hurt.
