Watch for the spectacular ending. After they cross the finish line, Mrs. McGinnis spins out and hits Wix’s car.

Five clip montage of different races. I like it.

I didn’t stay to watch all of the soap box derby races. Too darn hot, but I was there long enough for a few photos and video.

Soap Box Derby: Stock, Super Stock, and Masters

Posted by Eric – June 13, 2009

Had a lot of fun watching the fourth annual soap box derby. I think the rain held off long enough for all the races to finish. I left before it was completely over but it didn’t start raining till a couple hours later. The highlight of the day was definitely the oil can races. A list of the race participants can be found at hopkinsvillesoapbox.com.

The third annual Soap Box Derby in Hopkinsville was held today in downtown Hopkinsville. I was there for a couple of hours. I had the excellent idea to bring my camera. Here’s some of the photographs I took.
