Produktinformationen zu „The All-American Soap Box Derby (ePub)“
The All-American Soap Box Derby, the brainchild of Dayton newspaperman Myron Scott, began as a local race in that city in 1933. With some creative promotion, Scott turned it into a national competition the next year. By 1935 it had found a home in Akron. This move was solidified by the construction of Derby Downs. This unique facility, built in 1936, provided a much needed home. National sponsorship was provided by Chevrolet in cooperation with the Akron Beacon Journal and other newspapers across the nation. The All-American was flourishing due, in no small part, to the army of volunteers which enabled it to run smoothly.
Autoren-Porträt von Ronald Reed
Although he is better known in the Akron area as a sports official, Ron Reed has published two books on a subject near and dear to his heart. The All-American Soap Box Derby has been a passion of his for over sixty years. His first literary effort Tallmadge Hill was published in 2013. It covered first three years of the derby, 1933-35. It was followed in 2014 by Derby Downs, which continued the story by relating the happenings of 1936 and 1937. Now Mr. Reed takes us on a journey through the late thirties and on to World War II. It was a glorious time in derby racing. You will feel the excitement as you read this account of just what took place.
