TRAACA Members help out at the 3rd Annual
Great American Soap Box Derby

The Tallahassee Region not only sponsored two cars in the 3rd Annual running of the Great American Soap Box Derby, but they also turned out in force to assist the racers and derby organizers in conducting the event.

Saturday, June 3 started out a little cloudy which helped keep the temp down but the day soon brightened into a very nice race day. 15 club members participated as event staff to help racers and their families have a good time and help the event proceed smoothly.

Race Director Neal Davis gives instructions to the participants prior to events getting underway.	Racers pull their cars out and line up for a group photo shoot near the starting gate.
Calm and quiet before racing begins.	Racers gather for pre-race ceremonies.
And the qualifying begins a long day of eliminations, filled with the joys of youthful racers and their families.	The "Crew Chiefs" (Dads and others) give last minute instructions under the watchful eyes of the officials.
