Went to visit my daughter in Akron, Ohio and dropped by the Soap Box Derby museum and racetrack up there. Brought back many good memories from my childhood. VERY interesting to see how all of the top contenders have gone to recumbent drivers. Man, are the things sleek and aero!!! The helmets they are required to wear are built in to the car. The little window that they look out of is minuscule!!!! Quite a bit different from the 1939 winner's car that was made from tin, riveted together--about three feet tall, compared to the one foot of the recumbent champs of today.
