What is "Winning Ingredients"? "Winning Ingredients" is a book that helps you understand the science that makes your Soap Box Derby car fast. I wrote this book to help Derby families become better than just competitive. The feed back I have received indicates the book has done just that. Numerous race families I have talked with have told me that "Winning Ingredients" was the reason they won their local race and were in Akron competing in the world championship race. Often your best friend will not tell you everything for fear that they may have to compete with you in the future. So they keep a few things back for themselves. This book keeps nothing back. With "Winning Ingredients”, you have all the information available to the fastest competitors. |

"Winning Ingredients" Contents Winning Ingredients contains the following chapters: Aerodynamics, Energy and Weight, Suspension, Design and Construction, Alignment, Practice, and Race Day Tips. In addition there is information on making the tools you will need, driving instructions, experiments to test the theories in the book, and how to test your car at the track. The book also has over 100 illustrations to help you understand how to make your car fast. Just by making, the tools in the book you can save yourself hundreds of dollars. New Cars, Old Science Soap Box Derby cars use to be build from plans that just gave you the dimensions. You purchased the material from your local hardware store, except for wheels and axles, and build your car. Now you put together a kit that has all the material in it down to the nuts and bolts. They have also changed some rules, but the science that makes your race car fast has not changed.
