The book "Soap Box Derby Speed Secrets" was written by Mel Stavn in 1966. It appears
to be a disertation on how physics applies to a Soap Box Derby racer. If you are an engineer or a mathematician you will probably
find it to be 'light reading' but whether or not you understand the proofs in the book, you can still benefit from his conclusions
about what will make a Derby car go fast!

Here is a "freebie" for you to enjoy at no cost to you. Just click on the link below and you
can read an article written by Frank Deford that was published 08-01-88 in 'Sports Illustrated". It is saved in a PDF format
so it might take a few moments to load so that you can view it. It contains some nice color photos and provides some rich
history of the Soap Box Derby. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I have.
