High-Tech Soap Box Derby Racing

Tim reported "To encourage innovation in the new century, derby organizers created an open-class competition in 2004 called Ultimate Speed Challenge.

The result: missile-like racers with speeds approaching 40 miles an hour." ,,,> Hear the entire piece at NPR online
