It has been called
"The Greatest Amateur Racing Event in the World".
To most of the more than a million youngsters who have participated in racing these gravity-powered cars since the Derby's inception in 1934, it is just the "Soap Box Derby".

What is the Soap Box Derby?

The Soap Box Derby is a youth racing program which has run nationally since 1934. World Championship finals are held each July at Derby Downs in Akron, Ohio.

The Soap Box Derby…

  • is a community event to bring family, business and community together for a day of fun, exciting competition.
  • a family project for kids 8 to 17 years of age.
  • an opportunity for a child to build and race their own race car.
  • a unique program that encourages close adult-youth activities while building and racing a car.
  • reinforces the importance of setting and completing goals while developing traits such as self-confidence, perseverance, craftsmanship, leadership and sportsmanship, while building a gravity race car.

We have a "Sister City"!

Ed Bednarczyk, a good friend, has helped us with our race, and in doing so has become a great advocate for the Soap Box Derby. And now, he has helped organize the first ever Soap Box Derby in Camano Island, Washington!! (just outside of Seattle, WA) We have helped him and his race sponsor with start up info and are very excited for their first race! Their race is also June 18th, so we will be setting up a phone call from our race to theirs that day, and having both on the loud speaker. We are very proud of our Sister City.
