The event will feature a field of 40 hand-made racers, driven by men and women daring enough to brave steep drops, hairpin turns and scary speeds in pursuit of achieving raceway glory. San Franciscans can keep their eyes peeled for a burrito truck, a giant baseball, a cable car, a belt
sander and more zooming down Dolores Street alongside historic Mission
Dolores Park. Red Bull Soapbox Race will finally put to rest the long-standing argument about which San Francisco landmark is faster - the Transamerica Pyramid or the Golden Gate Bridge – as both take to the street as racers in a cross-town shootout. Other crafts rounding out the roster include: a hamster wheel, a pig with wheels, a giant squid, the Death Star and the Tin Man. The teams come from all over California and as far north as Bellingham, WA and as far west as Honolulu, HI.

Experience Halloween -- Exploratorium style. Join in-costume for a ghoulish grab-bag of tricks and treats as the Exploratorium transforms into a Phantasmagorium of spooky science and frightful fun. In the first annual
October 31st Halloween fright night, the Exploratorium digs six feet under the cultural and scientific phenomena behind Halloween, Dia de los Muertos,
and death. Find out how nature deals with death and regeneration with a decomposing snake at the Energy from Death exhibit. Get sucked into the
finer points of leech science with nurses (in costume, but for real) from the Association of periOperative Registered Nurses (AORN). Walk through a
"graveyard" dedicated to debunked science ideas, including the recently entombed Pluto is a Planet (1930 - 2006). Witness the Iron Science Teacher competition where teachers compete before a live audience -- with Halloween candy as the "secret" ingredient underlying their experiments. Or, catch a sugar skull candy-making demonstration with master confectioner Irma Ortiz, among other events.
