The event, begun in 1934, allows boys and girls ages 8-17 to compete in homemade, non-motorized cars for scholarships and other prizes. The race event is surrounded by a week full of activities, including a parade, a rally, and celebrity appearances. The 2010 date is July 24. Derby History: The Soap Box Derby was started in 1934 in Dayton, Ohio by a group of friends who constructed racing cars from scraps of lumber. The fledging race moved to Akron in 1935, attracted by the hilly terrain and the WPA project, Derby Downs. The race attracted the attention of Chevrolet, who sponsored the race from 1935 until 1972 and started the tradition of offering scholarships as prizes. In its heyday, during the 1950s and 1960s, the Soap Box Derby drew up to 70,000 spectators. The race struggled during the 1970s after Chevrolet pulled out, but has rebounded with new sponsors including Goodyear, Novar Electronics, and most recently Levi Strauss.
