Winning Soap Box Derby car in Zimmerman MN

Proving that age doesn’t matter, a car built 60 years ago swept first, second and third place in the Zimmerman Wild West Days Soap Box Derby.

The car build originally built by Julius “Julie” Dorweiler for his own kids, won the 5 and under age group with a team consisting of grandchildren and a grand nephew.
