Soap Box Derby racing has come a long way since its inception in 1933, when "kids brought cars with chassis made of fruit crates and scrap wood propped up on wheels pilfered from baby buggies and roller skates," in the words of Smithsonian Magazine.

Today, cars such as these "Masters Division" racers are sold as fiberglass kits. Masters Division cars are for drivers 10 to 20 years old and can accommodate racers up to 6 feet tall who weigh up to 160 pounds.

This panning shot, captured at a Soap Box Derby event this month in Barrington, Illinois, has been processed for Sliders Sunday.
