Lack Of Morality In Derby Cheating Case
A Boulder Colorado juvenile court judge fined Denver businessman James Lange Sr. 2000 and ordered him to apologize to youth for helping his nephew cheat by installing an electro magnet device in a racer to win the 1973 National Soapbox Derby in Akron. Lange must also stay out of derby operations until 1975. The district attorney cited evidence that at least 34 drivers altered racers to speed up, including six of the top 10. The judge condemned the lack of morality in the affair.
