New York's First Ice Box Derby!

0209icebox.jpg Something amazing called Zombie Unicorn is hosting a fast, furious and frosty event later this month: The Great Ice Box Derby! This is the first ever ice box derby to take place in New York City (unsubstantiated!), and it all goes down on Saturday, February 28th in Central Park. If you want to be involved in what is essentially the Idiotarod on Ice, all you have to do is "create a soapbox vehicle, a sled with caster wheels, a big wheel with skis, trike with tin foil or some similar creation that can roll and slide. Make sure you can turn or can crash into a fence." While skateboards are welcome (if you sit down), they ask that you leave your bikes at home. What do you think, is this just a recipe for a disaster on the rocks?

    Somehow, it doesn't seem as inspired as the Idiotarod. And that's saying something.
