Soapbox Racing at the Bridge
(Left) Dreams come true: This soap box derby racer was one of dozens which competed at Bridgehampton in one of the supporting events prior to the big international events in the 60s. The race was held from the final turn downhill to the lightbulb. Track management worked hard to involve the entire family in racing!
