Manayunk Wall
I've never been to a Soapbox derby in my life but I wouldn't miss this onefor anything! On Saturday, September 6 (gates open at 11 am, race starts at 1 pm) 40 teams will challenge the famous "Manayunk Wall" (Levering/Lyceum Ave) in an all-out race against the clock in a downhill, knuckle-biting, knee-scraping fury. Just being able to survive The Wall at high speed should be enough to gain anyone notoriety but, hey, this is Philly so screw that! Gotta make it to the bottom! With no admission and the possibility of major crashes, what's not to like? Root on your favorites, even if it's just for the name: Cheesesteak Chariot, The Ambiguously Gay Duo, Weed Racer and Dr. Stragebox, just to name a few. There are only four races nationwide so don't miss it!
