Soap Box Derby Set for Capitol Hill, Saturday, June 16
[I]Some hills are higher, some are longer, some are faster but we race on THE most powerful hill in the world, Capitol Hill! [/I]Thatês the lead on the website, www.dcsoapboxderby.org, for the 66th running of the Greater Washington Soap Box Derby, which happens Saturday, June 16. As the proud lead sponsor of this all-American event for the past 26 years, WANADA encourages its members and friends to join the patrons and participants in cheering on these enterprising young go-cart racers. The competitors, all eight to seventeen years old, will silently roll down a quarter-mile course on Constitution Ave. in their motor-less, hand-built, wildly decorated racers. Itês family fun for all in the ultimate great American tradition. And itês an enjoyable way to spend a Saturday afternoon in June in the shadow of the U.S. Capitol.
