The time: 1980. The place: Knott’s Berry Farm, America’s first and third largest theme park. A 21 year old Eddie Sotto had as his first project, the conversion of a “Motorcycle” racing ride that was deemed to be hazardous into a 1920’s themed ”living cartoon”, or “outdoor dark ride” called “Wacky Soap Box Racers”. That was 40 years ago and even though the ride is gone, the memories live on with this new and exciting website.
