The best and brightest that CSULB has to offer will be on display this weekend, racing through the streets of downtown Los Angeles in some of the wittiest, funniest, and spectacularly designed soapbox racecars to ever cross the checkered flag in the Red Bull Soapbox Race tomorrow. Three student teams are entering the 40-team field, and are bringing with them a combination of intelligent construction and over-the-top silliness that can only be seen from a group of college students.

Team Banana Hammock enters a car whose name speaks for itself, as the driver will steer while being suspended from a swinging hammock that likely does not meet most American crash standards. Team On A Boat has constructed a yacht from their car to mimic the popular Saturday Night Live music video “I’m On A Boat” and will make you feel like you and your flippy-floppies are right there with them. Team Dorm Livin’ will send a highly un-aerodynamic racecar that consists of a bunkbed setup on wheels, with a little – ahem – animatronic movement occurring on the top bunk.
