Both groups are more alike than different because they both require a a hand made car or trolley

# data[].attributes.body
They are different because soap box derby uses soap box cars, and Spit Nolan uses trolleys. Also they bo are hand made cars.

# data[].attributes.body
I know that someone died because I read it in the text. It clearly states that Spit Nolan died from a severe crash with a car.

However, there are some similarities such as:
Both soap box cars and trolleys are usually homemade from spare parts

# data[].attributes.body
These two things are different in a few ways. For instance,
-One person (possibly more) died while trolley racing. Soap box racing can be still be dangerous, but with today's modifications, it is a lot safer.

Is the race similar? I think that the race is not similar because  the one
is a fun and competitive  and the other is a serious race that is very             hard to ex plane the hardness.

I think it's different because Spit Nolan is a story and Soap Box is a informational texts. Soap Box talks about how old you need to be or what you need to do and Spit Nolan is talking about something that happened from doing this

Our group strongly believes that the two diverse races have more differences then comparisons. One huge diversity is that the soapbox race uses motor less race carts while the Spit Nolan race uses trolley carts. We also believe that the soapbox race is more formal and is also important than the Spit Nolan race which is less organized and wasn't a big event for the public to join in. We know this thanks to the first text saying that kids 8-17 years old are allowed to join. The race also includes division like the stock and super stock division. The Spit Nolan race was also a one shot deal while the Soapbox race has and still is being done over and over. The text for Spit Nolan never mentioned this type of racing was done over and over again while the Soapbox race explains their were many races like the All-American. The carts in Spit Nolan unlike the Soapbox race were actually named. I figured this out because in the text referencing the Spit Nolan story says the carts were named The British Queen and Egdum. Overall, the two races are extremely diverse from one another.

Spit Nolan and soapbox racing are both similar because you have to make your own car and race it down a hill. On page 3 paragraph 1 it says "came across some boys racing handmade cars. Page 5 paragraph 3 it says "Our trolleys were simple vehicles..." later it says "to make one of these videos..."

These two races are more alike. I believe this because they both start out with creating a car/trolley. Another reason is that there are two competitors racing versus each other. For example in the story about spit it talks about him racing Lesley. Also in the story about the soap box it says that the finalist raced each other in the all american derby. This shows that the races are more alike.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the two races are different for the following reason. The Spit Nolan was just a gang of people who like racing, not a national competition. In the story Spit Nolan, they talk about a race by two people, but in soap box derby, they talk about he history of the competition. That is why i think they are more different then alike.

Are the races similar or more different? We think the races are more different because in the Soap Box Derby the competitors are trying to have fun AND win so they can go to Akron, but in Spit Nolan's story, it is more competitive in a more serious way. They are not competing to win and go to Akron, but competing to win their pride. Also, in Spit Nolan's story the race is not as formal as the national championships in the other story. Spit Nolan's is a story but the Soap Box Derby is a informative text.

We think it is more different because in Spit Nolan Spit dies. We know this because the text says in the last paragraph last sentence.
