Let’s head back to the August 1973 pages of the Optimist to check out the winner of the second annual Tsawwassen 500 Soapbox Derby.

More than 500 people lined the street to watch the derby, one of many events in the five-day Sun Festival.
Savage’s kart was sponsored by Delta Datsun.
The Sun Festival also included a trade fair, beauty pageant, a Queen’s Ball and, of course, a Bavarian beer garden.
