FREDERICK, MD - A street near the Frederick Airport was shut down Sunday for a Soapbox Derby Rally.

27 competitors showed up to race down Bowman Farm Lane.

There were different races based on age and ability.   Kids as young as 8 can race in the stock division.   It's the masters division that's more difficult.

Brian Carpenter, a soapbox derby racer said, "It's a lay down car.  You have a headrest, you can barely see out of it instead of having no headrest and seeing a lot, so it's basically made for experienced drivers."

The Soapbox Derby has been around since 1934.

The world championships are held each July in Ohio.
