Summary

A member of the Boys Club of Brunswick standing proudly over his soap box race car on E. Potomac Street just before the race down the stretch just below "Dead Man's Curve". Soap Box Derby races were a big deal for boys in Frederick County right after the war in the late 1940s. Does anyone know why they were discontinued?
