Summary
| Description |
English: This is a pre-Akron, Ohio soap box racer built and raced by 13 year old Robert Gravett from Dayton, OH, that become the logo image for the official All-American Soap Box Derby brand for over thirty years. In 1933, Robert competed in the very first organized soap box race in Dayton, OH. He did not win, taking second, but a photo of his car, taken by newsman Myron Scott (who also happened to come up with the Derby idea) was considered by Scott to represent the archetypal racer, which he used for the logo. Robert was inducted into the AASBD Hall of Fame in 2000. A replica is on display in the museum located at Derby Downs in Akron, OH. |
