2nd Largest Derby in the World in 2007!   



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 ...
