Brütal Bus Wins Red Bull Soapbox Race

The Brütal Bus has won the Red Bull Soapbox Race [http://www.redbullsoapboxusa.com/default.aspx] in Los Angeles, proving once and for all that there is nothing that can't be done when you have the power of rock on your side.

The Kotaku [http://brutalbus.blogspot.com/] mention in late August. The racer was designed and built by three college friends with an obvious love for Brütal Legend and the talent to bring the game to life in gleaming red, chrome-piped, flame-painted craziness.

But the Brütal Bus doesn't just look great, it goes like stink, too. Team Ironheade not only won the 2009 Los Angeles Red Bull Soapbox Race but set a new speed record in the process, breaking 46 miles per hour on its run. That's rockin' fast! Check out video of the Brütal victory (and a lot of other soapbox racers, good and bad) at redbullusa.com [http://www.redbullusa.com/cs/Satellite/en_US/Video/Downtown-Derby-021242781983260?p=1242746208599].

That's so awesome!
I would love to be involved in something like that!
You just don't have enough Soap-box derby races anymore...at least not where I am.

That is awesome! I hope they each get a free copy of the game when it comes out, they deserve it.

 

[Kollega]

Wow! It's so Brütal it's just... just... Brütal!

I'm generally not a superstitious person, but it does look like a very good omen for the game's release.

That is awesome...just awesome.

Soapbox derby's are fun.

Awesome has a new name.

Brütal Bus.

That was AWESOME.

That berm on the course looked evil, it would hard enough on a bike never mind in a soapbox. The driver must have balls of cast titanium to match the finish on those pipes. Also, that picture is class.

Best. Picture. Ever.

That is all I have to say.
