Fine dining by the river
The one factor that remains the same with soap-box derby racing today is that gravity remains the power behind the steering wheel. The race takes place on a hill and the overall winner at the end is the driver with the fastest time in the final heat. The Alfred Soap-Box Derby will be on Aug. 12, or Aug. 19 in case of rain, on the hill on Concession 4 in Alfred between the Boundary Road and Montée Lajeunesse Road intersections. Hay-bale barricades will line both sides ofthederbyroutetoallowforlimitedsingle- vehicle traffic along the concession road during the race and to also protect both drivers and spectators. The viewing sec- tion for the race will be on just the one side of the road.
Soap-Box Derby racing is rolling its way into Alfred this summer. Alfred-Plantagenet Township council has given the green light to a request from the Alfred Knights of Columbus for temporary use of part of the Concession 4 road in Alfred as a soap-box derby race track. Soap-box derby racing dates back to the early 1930s in the United States and mid- 1940s in Canada, where the first Canadian award event was held in Mission, B.C. The homemade cars that children built out of soap boxes, orange crates, baby buggy wheels and whatever other scrap pieces they could find have given way to sleek, custom-made machines available for rent
