Soap Box Derby revisited
I did a thread about my competing in New Hampshire's Soap Box Derby in 1950/51 but I can't find it.
So, yesterday my son his wife and I went looking at a boat. Not for me, for them. On the way home we stopped at a place that had a sign "Vintage toys for sale." Big barn, lots of stuff. Looking through it I saw a set of Soap Box Derby wheels identical to the ones that I had on my racer.
Confession. When we moved in the early 2000's from Spring Hill in Florida, I believe I left my set of wheels in the loft above the garage. Pretty dumb, but I did for some reason ship the axles.
So I bought the wheels. This morning I cleaned them up. This time they get bolted to the wall above my workbench. Not leaving them again. Axles in front.


Bought these on ebay a few months ago. Some may remember.
