What is the Soap Box Derby?
The All-American Soap Box
Derby, “The Greatest Amateur Racing Event in the World,” is a youth gravity racing program
for boys and girls ages
through 18 years old.
The goals of the Soap Box Derby program have not
changed since it began in 1934: to promote families
working together, to teach children some basic skills
of workmanship along with the spirit of competition
and the perseverance to continue a project to
completion.
Across the United States and around the world,
family time is spent together building Soap Box
Derby cars. Lifelong bonds are developed as the
“Derby Experience” is shared. The Soap Box Derby is a program that will provide cherished memories
that you will enjoy for a lifetime.
Where do I begin?

Contact
the local Derby Director at 270-889-
for information on the local race. Find out
about construction clinics and/or other programs
that may be of assistance to you.

Decide which type of car you wish to build. The
local Derby Director will be able to help you with
this information. You might want to look for a
sponsor to help underwrite the cost of your
racer. You will normally need to purchase a car
assembly kit and a set of Z-Glas racing wheels.

Read the official plans and build your car exactly
as the instructions indicate. Plan to attend a
construction clinic to help you understand the
regulations and guide you in building a safe and
competitive car.

Participate in your local All-American Race.
What are the Race Divisions?
