The New Zealand All American Soap Box Derby

I have been watching my host mom and dad help to create a soap box derby car for the New Zealand soap box derby race. My mom's year 7 and year 8 class were going to race in the derby, and this weekend was the semifinal. I went with them, and the kids were so excited when we got there! The prize for the 1st place car was two plane tickets (1 for the driver, 1 for an adult) to Ohio in the States to compete for the American Soap Box Derby Race! When the race started, we ended up getting into the top 8. We were the ones competing for the two plane tickets to compete in the states, and Parnell School ended up winning the entire soap box derby!! It was so exciting! The soap box derby in Ohio is in July, and I told the kids that I will go to watch them in it! I have pictures from the day, but they won't upload right now, so as soon as they will, I'll post them.
