Summary
| Description |
English: Soap Box Derby racer built and piloted by Robert (Bob) L. Javens of Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania who won the local championship in 1969. Bob qualified for the All-American National Championship in Akron that same year. His racer was a curvilinear, wedge-shaped design, low and narrow, and fitted with a rubber tonneau that covered the car's occupant to cut wind resistance. Also fitted was an external steering mechanism, a new technology at the time that was used widely on racers in 1969. This steering configuration was phased out by 1972. The Championship wheels, painted gold and sporting the 1969 decal, are set no. 228. This illustration is sampled from a SketchUp digital 3D model, seen here. Both are created by Bill Wrigley, Toronto, Canada. |
