I caught the tail end of the 2009 Portland Adult Soapbox Derby last Saturday. I didn't make it in time to witness the final fate of the Flinstones racer. Did listening to the organizers scream "GET OFF THE TRACK" over and over again make up for it? Uh, not really.

Rough estimate of the number of belligerent requests it takes for the crowd to actually clear the way for the racers: 10.

A few photos from the last hour or so of this year's race:
