Nathan,

Your subject of Soapbox Derby takes me back to the 70's.  We never raced,
but we went a couple of times to the races they held on Cascades Hill in
Jackson, Michigan, where we lived at the time.  I like the simplicity of
design of your site.  I think that too many times people think that they
have to put everything possible in a site just to show off what they can do!

I like the way your graphics complement your theme of racing, and the
graphics at the top are an easy way for a visitor to see which page they are
on.  I would like to see you go into a little more detail about what SoapBox
Derby racing is.  You touched on it with your reference to "gravity powered
racing" but someone who has never seen a race might want to know more.

Great Job!

Elaine
