On 9/16/12 in Turner Falls, MA, I went to a soapbox derby where I was racing. Some of the cars were very interesting. There was one black wedge shaped one that said Corvette on the back. It had all wheel independent hydraulic suspension, All wheel vented disc brakes, and a steering wheel that looked exactly the same as some real old Corvette steering wheels. It also had a tubular metal chassis and a sheet metal body. Another car had all wheel independent hydraulic suspension, all wheel vented disc brakes, and a roll cage.
     I found this post in my drafts folder-I had meant to post it almost a year ago.
Some people have probably began wondering about why my username is Charger III (My brother, for 1, has). Well, the Dodge Charger III was a concept car built by Chrysler in 1968.  Its design borrowed ideas from its predecessor,  the Charger II. It was by far the most streamlined car built by Dodge. Although Chrysler implied that similar designs would soon be used on all of its models, it took over 25 years for anything like that to happen. For more information, please see this website.
