Newcomers take on soapbox race with canoe-kart

Soapbox makers from Milton Keynes are taking on 'the slope' with their kart made of an old canoe.
Dan Dixon, 23, Laura Blunden, 22, Jan Cacko, 23, and Richard Crow, 23, have been working on their soapbox for the last 10 weeks.
They will be taking part in the Red Bull Soapbox Race at Alexandra Palace in London on Sunday 9 July.
The kart, which has cost less than Β£500, has been created to Dan Dixon and his dad's original design, from an old canoe and bits of a gazebo.
Known as The Rat Pack, the team have only tested the kart on slopes and will have to face lots of obstacles in the race.
