Thrills, Spills & Wooden Wheels Origins of the Soapbox Derby The roots of the soapbox derby can be traced back to the early 1930s in Dayton, Ohio. Myron Scott, a photographer for a local newspaper, was inspired by a group of boys racing homemade cars down a hill. Recognising the potential for an exciting event, Scott convinced his employer to sponsor a race, which he called the All-American Soap Box Derby. The inaugural race took place in 1934, drawing a crowd of 362 participants and an enthusiastic audience. Robert Turner, the winner of the first All-American Soap Box Derby, built his racer from the timbers of an old tavern, with the wheels taken from a child’s pram. The popularity of the soapbox derby quickly spread across the United States. Local communities organised their own races, and the winners from each region would compete in the national championship held in Akron, Ohio. The event gained national attention, with coverage in newspapers and radio broadcasts generating interest overseas. Australia held its first soapbox derby in 1938, where “Crash-helmeted speed demons defied all the laws of grownups…” and “Amazing skill and nerve were shown by the racers in the control

of their crazy conveyances.” The event was widely reported by New Zealand newspapers, and in 1940, a soapbox derby was organised at Western Springs Raceway in Auckland.

that a bicycle would make an excellent prize for the Napier competition winner. However, the 1949 race appears to have progressed no further than the boardroom table.

A soapbox derby for Napier was proposed by the Thirty Thousand Club, with Shakespeare Road as the course. However, a strong protest was issued by the president of the Hawke’s Bay Automobile Association, claiming “that the event encouraged juveniles to indulge in a dangerous activity.”

It wasn’t until the late 1960s that the crash-helmeted speed demons of Napier could finally demonstrate their skill and nerve in the control of their crazy conveyances when Scoutmaster Ian Sayer organised a derby with Burns Road providing the track. Ian’s son took part with his soapbox “Mr. Magoo.”

The Headmasters’ Association supported the protest, fearing that street racing would undermine the work done by schools in regard to road safety. The Thirty Thousand Club’s response, that all trolleys would be required to have wooden wheels for safety, did little to allay concerns, and the race was cancelled.

Taking over the legacy of the Soapbox Derby, the Rotary Club of Ahuriri Sunrise now organises the competition annually during the Art Deco Festival. However, due to the cancellation of the 2023 festival, the Derby was rescheduled for the Winter Deco Festival. At this event, “Mr. Magoo” proudly joined the lineup, still going strong after 55 years.

In 1949, the Napier Chamber of Commerce revived the idea of a soapbox derby as a great thing for Napier. Mr. Burt, President of the Chamber, said that he had “inquired from the United States about ‘soapbox derbies’ held in that country and was told that the prizes ranged from university scholarships to high-powered cars.” It was decided

We strongly encourage soap box derby participants to register in advance for the 2024 Soapbox Derby. We will keep you up-to-date with weather alerts and mustering information in the lead up to race day.
