SCAT-CAT IN THE MAKING—Bo Lamar, jr., 12, Is shown in his half-completed Manassas Scat- .
Cat, which he hopes will carry him to victory in the third Washington Soap Box Derby Satur
day. Bo and the other Derby racer builders in Washington and vicinity were to turn their coaster
cars in for inspection today at the Chevrolet dealers where they registered. The 1940 Derby will
be held on Pennsylvania averme S.E. between Alabama and Branch avenues. —Star Staff Photo.
Soap Box Derby Boys Face
Car Inspection Tomorrow
Careful Inspection of the 1940
field of Soap Box Derby racers will
begin tomorrow at the Randle
Heights School, Thirtieth street
and Pennsylvania avenue S.E., in
preparation for Washington's third j
coaster race for boys on Saturday. !
In accordance with letters of in
struction mailed to the more than
200 Derby racers in the Washington
Metropolitan Area, the coaster cars
were to be turned in today to the
11 salesrooms of the Washington
Chevrolet Dealers’ Association, where
a preliminary checkup is to be made.
The homemade speedsters then
will be taken to the school, where
the Inspection Committee will begin
its work tomorrow. Inspection of
the racers will be handled by a 29
man committee headed by John R.
Weltzel, commander of Bunker Hill
Post, American Legion.
The inspection will determine if
the boy-built cars are made accord
ing to the 1940 rules, which require
that each racer be constructed to
certain dimensions at a cost of no
more than $10. Any car showing
evidence of adult construction will
be barred from the race.
On a special radio broadcast yes
terday Derby Director Zeb T. Ham
ilton listed some last-minute con
struction items to be checked by
the boy racers. The program was
broadcast over Station WMAL.
Meanwhile, Derby headquarters
In The Star Building was busy pre
paring to mail final instructions to
each Derby entrant. Inclosed with
the final Instructions will be two
tickets for grandstand seats at the
finish line on Pennsylvania avenue
S.E. on Derby Day.
The grandstand, which is to be
erected near Carpenter street, will
seat approximately 1,000 people.
Lengths of snow fence will be
erected paralleling the course to
protect private lawns on the day
of the race.
The running of the elimination
heats will begin at 11 a.m. and con
tinue through the day until a new
Washington champion has been
chosen. The boys will race in heats
of three cars each.
