Annual Los Angeles Foothills Soap Box Derby has been scheduled for
Monday, May 27, 2002 here in La Cañada Flintridge, CA. This will
be the official race sanctioned by the world-famous All-American
Soap Box Derby of Akron, Ohio. The winners of this Los Angeles
County race will be provided financial support to go to Akron to

popular sport. It affords families an opportunity to bond with
their kids as they build and race their own cars.
La
