Dylan Harris, 2, test drives a derby car Sunday at the Virginia

Beach Soap Box Derby. The car belonged to Mike Whitaker, a

contestant in the event. There was no convincing Dylan, the son of

Dennis and Jackie Harris of the 1300 block of Riverfront Court, that

he wasn't ready to take to the track himself. by CNB
