Citizen Report: Soap Box Derby

· May 14, 2009, 8:55 am

The origins of the "Soap Box Derby" date back to 1933 in Dayton, Ohio. Homemade, engineless cars chase down a hill, pulled only by the force of gravity. In this week's "Citizen Report," Ted Ebbink talks about his experiences with the Pike's Peak Soap Box Derby, and how for his family, it's about more than just a gravitational pull.
