Friday was the third annual Angie’s List Soap Box Derby and it was quite an event. The entire company divided into teams of 12. Each team constructed a soap box derby car to race down a hay-bale strewn course.

The primary objective was to get to the bottom of the course (hill) the fastest. The not-so-thought-about-but-just-as-important objective was to get to the bottom of the hill in one piece. No serious incidents occurred this year or in years past, but it’s fortunate we have a list of A-rated doctors to call in case of emergency.

With more than 300 Angie’s List employees, the soap box derby is always a fun and unique way to meet colleagues from different departments. Everyone gets into the spirit by dressing in costume, developing themes for the “pit crew” and decorating the cars. It’s quite a sight to see!

As an added bonus, Indianapolis 500 driver Sarah Fisher – whose in-car camera Angie’s List sponsored – made a guest appearance at Friday’s festivities. Nothing like a little celebrity to spice up your day!
