Downhill racers: Soap Box Derby
83-year-old Lamar McDaniel relaxes Saturday near the car he raced in 1938 here in Atlanta. He still has the car in his basement. He won first place in Atlanta that year in this Atlanta Constitution-emblazoned car. The Constitution sponsored the race in 1938. McDaniel went on to compete in the nationals in Akron, Ohio and won fifth place there. Andy Sharp/AJC
