cool!  I would have loved this as a kid, but we have no hills where I grew up and live.

Kids get pretty cranked up...no engine...vibration of weights in car...these cars with driver weigh 230 pounds so they sail!

What a great event! I have never seen one of these in person, only on TV or in the movies. What fun! Dads get to be kids and kids get to be kids!

Akron Ohio is a neat trip for the whole family too. Hot in July but three lanes of fun. Start one in your area..bet there is one in Atlanta.

I did soapbox derby two consecutive years growning up. Building the car was much more fun than the actual races. Even with a relatively steep hill where we held our races, the speeds were on the slow side.

When I raced there were a couple of kids that built their cars using the body kits that were available. From the video above, it looks like a lot of the kids built cars with those bodies. I built my cars myself except for assistance with a few of the more dangerous steps. It was a great learning experience.

 If anyone gets their kids into this, don't use the body kits. It takes half of the fun of building the car away.
