Eleventh Street and Pine Avenue, Downtown
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 7 through 20 years old. The goals of the Soap Box Derby program have not changed since its beginning in 1934: to promote families working together, to teach children 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 for a lifetime. Join in the fun, and bring the whole family!
