With Rappahannock County fielding an all-time high 13 racers this year, up from zero just two years ago, the Soap Box Derby of Culpeper will he taking a big step forward with this Saturday's race.
A jump in the number of racers from 128 to 153 this year means the event becomes the biggest soap box derby in the world, surpassing the 151 who recently raced in Fredericksburg.
But it will also be losing Carol Anne Brown, a former Culpeper resident who drove in the event and also founded the derby's junior competition committee. The 18-year-old committed suicide this past Easter and this year’s race is being run in her memory, with the trophy lor sportsmanship, which Brown had won, being renamed in her honor.
