So, our information proved correct. A crack team of Telstar Logistics analysts combined a pinch of humint with a dash of sigint to triangulate the coordinates and place our agents in proper position. Someone gave the secret signal, the message went out, a coyote began howling in the distance, and sure enough, at 1 pm on Sunday, (Sunday! Sunday!) October 28, 2007 a ragtag crüe of gravity-racers assembled atop Bernal Hill in San Francisco for the 2007 Illegal Soapbox Derby.
Since words cannot properly convey the intensity of the atmosphere at Bernal Speedway on this fine autumn afternoon, we'll just let a few photos do the talking.

Looks like quite an adventure. I think I'd need a camel back though, it looks like it'd be burning up.
