Scott, Myron E.

September 16, 1907-October 4, 1998. Was the creator of the All-American Soap Box Derby. He is also credited with naming Chevrolet’s sports car, the Corvette.

Scott was born in Camden, Ohio. After school hours, he worked for the Dayton Daily News and learned photography, and had pictures published in Life Magazine and other publications.

In 1933, as chief photographer for the Dayton Daily News, he came across a few boys racing one another down a hill in vehicles made of orange crates and soap boxes. With the intention of getting a good photo story and local race with prizes, he persuaded the boys to return with more racers and soapbox cars.
