I’ll try to translate better than Babel Fish our entry:

“Is always said than the people that lives in big cities are a little bit crazy and if we think in big cities then New York City is the one, so imagine how crazy they are.

Jokes apart, the race that was organized last July 15th is the most crazy I’ve seen in many time, it’s the Papin SoapBox Derby, an anual race only for purists that this year is in his fouth edition. Rules are clear : no motor, no kits and no vodoo.

With this rules you can imagine what kind of things on wheels have been in he Brooklin hill and the accidents, of course, assured. You can see a lot of pics here and here.

Couriuos way of fighting the hot summer of our New York neighbours”

My english is not as good as I want but this is more or less what we say. Cheers.
