2022 PIEDMONT ARE A SOAP BOX DERBY

Culpeper Times • June 9-22, 2022

Soap Box Derby goes back to its roots Strengthening family unit reigns paramount.

BY

Maria Basileo

t, Life lessons come in all shapes and sizes. Be they on the playground or in the conference room. For Piedmont Area Soap Box Derby drivers and their parents, those lessons start on the track.

As an instrumental influence on most of those lessons, derby committees - made up of both adults and juniors - hyper focused on mentoring drivers and parents on both construction and principles of racing for many years.

This year, though, they’ve taken a backseat.

Hundreds of drivers have taken to the raceway since the annual event was founded in 2003 as a celebration of Rosson & Troilo’s 75th anniversary.

After returning last year following being canceled in 2020, the race will return again on June 18 at the Paul Bates Raceway and admission is free for spectators.

According to Piedmont Area Soap Box Derby Vice President Frankie Gilmore, when kids and parents first sign up for the derby, they wonder if they'll even be able to make it across the finish line after seeing the mountain of work.

In past years, committee members have taken those teams by the hand and helped them through the hurdles rather than guiding collaborative learning throughout the family unit.

Families, Gilmore noticed, have lacked the strength needed to overcome and tackle challenges and by participating in the Derby’s new outlook, hope to change that.

Reverting back to the original modes of operation of the derby with a more hands-off approach, she continued, will only help to strengthen relationships between parent and child, which has only been a driving factor in the race’s continued success. While the feat

car.

In the process, lessons on collaboration, leadership and perseverance permeated among crews who all have the same goal in mind: cross the finish line first.

Despite that common goal, drivers have also had lessons about sportsmanship, respect, healthy competition and being humble.

When blood, sweat and tears are poured into each car, it may be easy to lose or even win ungracefully, but not if you’re a Piedmont Area Soap Box Derby driver, Gilmore said.

On the front cover of this year’s Soap Box Derby special section, it shows second and third place winners

in a congratulatory embrace with the first place winner, she continued, exemplifying the overall tone of supportive sportsmanship.

When drivers aren’t bonding with their pit crew or peers, they’re learning skills beyond their classroom in lessons in STEM, physics, gravity, technology, engineering and more.

Gilmore calls this facet of the Derby “project-based learning.”

When the finish line is finally crossed, lessons learned, relationships rebuilt and all, Gilmore said, the Derby would have provided “all American, wholesome fun,” to both participants and attendees that can be relied upon to occur year after year. maria@culpepertimes.com

Why The Derby?

BY

Tony Troilo

First, let’s take a stroll down Memory Lane! Our grandfather, HB Rosson, in 1928 had a vision, dream and a passion to start a business to provide automotive service for Brandy Station and surrounding communities. For the next 75 years, those same qualities & passions were passed down in our family for 4 generations. So, in 2003, my sister Frankie and I decided we wanted to give something back to the community and to the families that had supported our family for the past 75 years. “Why the Derby?” In discussion it was a no-brainer. The Derby had all the characteristics and qualities our family and business deemed important – plus, our father had built and raced his own soap box derby car in the 30’s!

Since 2003, there have been many ‘WHYs’ as to the continuance of the Piedmont Area Soap Box Derby. The town officials and citizens opened their arms to our venture of turning Blue Ridge Avenue into a Soap Box Derby racetrack, at each turn and obstacle during the planning, we were met with success and continued support for the drivers and their families. In hindsight, we all thought that we would run “A” derby for one year; that would be it, just one. We were AMAZED during that first derby...Why? The support, the passion, the enthusiasm, and the excitement of our drivers and families was overwhelming; We had to continue! The next day the committee started planning for the 2nd Annual Soap Box Derby. . . . And then another ‘WHY’ – Why did we build a permanent track? Yes, we realized that moving from Blue Ridge Avenue to our present track facility at Paul Bates Raceway would cause some accessibility issues. However, the move has brought many benefits to our local Derby. We now have access to grow, hosting more racing events for our local families and visitors from out of the area, while hosting spring and fall rallies – which bring in families from up and down the east coast to Culpeper for a weekend of racing – visiting, touring and shopping in our

CULPEPER TIMES

community while here from Friday to Sunday. Our facility also provides STEM education opportunities for elementary, middle, and high school students, all wrapped around building, aligning and then racing a soap box derby car. Something my sister and I never realized when we established the derby was the educational aspect that the derby would bring to our community, it truly has taken us to another realm.

While building and racing a soap box derby car, we discuss gravity, force-in-motion, friction, aerodynamics, geometry, and physics to name a few.

We will still send the winners of each division to Akron, Ohio to race in the World Championship Race in July. However, in our eyes – every one of our drivers is a Champion! They have gained Life Skills that they will carry forward in life. They will learn perseverance, determination, respect for themselves and those around them, and more importantly they will learn sportsmanship, win or lose.

They will work with their hands to build a race car... then align it using theories of geometry... discuss elements of physics with other drivers and adults to fine tune it... and then race it - working alongside their families the entire time. Every year we see family bonds strengthen and self-confidence increase.

And then, at the top of the track, just prior to releasing both cars, each driver looks over at their opponent and wishes them ‘Good Luck’. Wow, these young drivers exemplify sportsmanship at its finest. A perfect example of this is the picture on the front of this section. Pictured is Emily Maley, Alana Durica and Sophie Morris – all three raced against each other for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in their division. Can you guess who the winner was? Looks like all three were winners in my eyes.

So, WHY the Soap Box Derby?

Because over the past 19 years we have seen the Derby add to the Quality of Life for our community and surrounding area: The strengthening of the Family Unit, the bonds built between parents and children, and the life skills taught.

A project-based learning experience while enjoying All-American Wholesome Fun for the entire family . . . it doesn’t get any better than that!
