New Starfing Ramp For Soapbox Derby To Be Safer, Better Incline to Be Less Steep, It Will Be Wider and Cars Won't Be Lifted Onto It Plans for changes in the starting ramp to be used in the 1940 Soap Box Derby were discussed yesterday over Station WMAL by H. N. Saun- ders, chief starter for Washington’s coaster race for boys for the third consecutive year. “The changes we are. going to make in the ramp,” Mr. Saunders said, “will keep all the good features | and make it safer and even better | than before.” . Interviewed during the regular 15- minute Derby program were three | boys who already have entered the | race. Bill Mansfield, 12, of 6132 | Thirtieth street N.W., told some of his experiences during the race at Boston in 1939, where he won two heat prizes. Bob Stacy, 12, of 5514 First street N.W, and Marvin Winer, 13, two other newcomers to the Washington race, explained their plans for building their coaster cars. Mr. Saunders described the wooden starting ramp used in the 1 1938 and 1939 Derby races, and out- | lined changes to be made “in the | interests of safety and efficiency.” | Ramp to Be Lower. | “The ramp used in the last two | years,” he explained, “had a rather Isteeply inclined starting slope that | the cars rested on before they began | the race downhill. To get in posi- | tion to start, each car had to be lifted into place by two or three | men. | “The nose of each car rested | against an upright block of wood set in a line of four across the ramp. { When the starting lever was re- leased, each block dropped forward, ;releasing the little racing cars and | allowing them to start all at the same time. | “The new ramp—or the one we | are going to rebuild—is going to be made about half as high as the old one, and will have, therefore, a much more gradual slope. With the more gradual slope, the cars will roll smoothly off the inclined surface | and onto the street without a bump, | and without a too-great impetus. “In addition,” Mr. Saunders | pointed out, “a back ramp will be ; constructed, so that the racers may | be rolled into position, thus elim- inating the lifting of the racers and ‘avoiding any possibility of damage | to them. | More “Elbow Room.” | “The ramp will be divided into four separate sections to allow | plenty of room between each racer. | This division will permit each boy to take full advantage of the 10- foot width of racing course allotted to him on the street chosen for the 1940 Derby. The starting mecha- nism will remain the same as it has been the past two years.” Mr. Hamilton, meanwhile, re- minded boys in metropolitan Wash- ington that there were still about Soap‘Box Derby Rules The 1940 Soap Box Derby, sponsored for the third year by The Star and the American Legion, will be held July 13 for boys living in Washington and in nearby Maryland and Vir- ginia.
