Resource development for Soap Box Derby racetrack in Indianapolis, Indiana
Soap box derby races began in Indianapolis in the 1930s. By the 1960s, attendance reached 15,000 at the annual city championship. As other forms of entertainment emerged, the racing tradition declined, and eventually the track fell into disrepair. A spirited team is now reviving the tradition. We created a presentation on the derby’s history and guided the group’s leaders in their pursuit of infrastructure support. The derby now has a newly paved track near the city’s Riverside Park, plus canopies and viewing areas. Races feature local children who build cars with adult mentors.
