Soap Box Derby To Be Held In Middlesex County

The 15th Annual New Jersey Soap Box Derby and Classic Car Show will be held Sunday in New Brunswick.

Racers from around the state will compete in the derby, which runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Johnson & Johnson World Headquarters, 501 George Street.

Children and teens between the ages of 7- and 19-years-old will race in the Stock, Super Stock and Masters, and the winners in each category will advance to the International Soap Box Derby in Akron, Ohio in July.

There will also be an adult division for parents, and a Super Kids division, in which children with special needs can ride in a soap box racer built for two.

A free classic car show will be presented by the Hollywood Night Cruisers.
