Young Yellowknifers brought their soapboxes – and need for speed – to the sixth annual YK Grand Prix Saturday morning. From the super hero-inspired to the aerodynamic-attentive, 35 colourful soapboxes and their wee drivers took to the top of the hill on School Draw Avenue –vying for a chance to crowned this year's winner.
The yearly event, hosted by the NWT Disabilities Council, is set to wrap up around 2:30 p.m., after speedsters from all age groups - 6 to 7 years olds, 8 to 9 year olds and 10 to 12 year olds – have competed in the downhill race.
