The fall Soap Box Derby Rally race was held in September, and the event drew families from as far away as South Carolina, Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
READY – Matt Sloat gets positioned in his car, with help from his sister Collette, before going down Derby Hill.
“We are very fortunate to have an awesome hill,” said Monique Grant, co-organizer of the derby. “Many local and rally races happen in parking lots or side streets, but we have a hill that compares to Akron’s hill.”
This year, there will not be a second rally race, but organizers will definitely set up a race in the spring before our local race in June.
