Yesterday around 2 p.m. New York's first Ice Box Derby went down in Central Park. Sure, it didn't have Idiotarod's attendance (only about nine competitors showed up with their make-shift vehicles), but those who were there really embraced the race. No winner was announced, the riders just kept going back down the hill (you know, for fun!) as spectators cheered them on. Sounds like there will be a 2nd annual derby, so get thee into the imagination laboratory and start working on the ultimate ice box racing machine.
