The Derby Park in the Sanford/ Lake Mary Area is probably one of the coolest places you can go.
Why? Soap Box Racing! The most classic and pure form of Family fun.
Go back to a time where Mom Dad and kids would work together in a garage to create the ultimate downhill racer!
Soap box Derby events and Championships have been an annual treat since the 1930s.
In these simpler times it was the highlight of the year to race against neighbors and friends in this downhill challenge.
The traditional Soap Box racer car was build from Apple or Soap crate boxes, hence the name, and had roller-skate wheels attached to them, but due to the innovative and competitive nature of mankind, they soon became much more refined, and much faster.
In a world were we harness so much energy, turning fuel into horsepower or electrons into Gigawatts of power it is so refreshing to have a competitive and fun activity that solely relies on on of the most basic physical principles we all encounter everyday.
I’m of course speaking of Gravity. These racers have nothing to propel them forward, or rather downward, than the constant pull of gravity and their own will to win!
