Zoom down Hilltop Park in your self-built racer at the Soap Box Derby, where young speedsters aged 6 to 16 compete for glory and trophies by racing non-motorized cars down a hill, with a chance to show off their engineering skills, speed, and sportsmanship in front of family and friends.
Soap Box Derby racing consists of a non-motorized car that is launched from a ramp on top of a hill. Gaining speeds at approximately 35 miles per hour, drivers are timed to determine the winner of each race. Double elimination is used to send a racer from the challenger bracket and off to win the overall heat.
The Soap Box Derby is held at 19th Avenue North and 4th Street North. There is a 60 car limit, ages 6 – 16. There is an entry fee of $25 per person. The entry fee includes a car kit and building instructions.
A waiver form must be filled out and signed by a parent/guardian prior to the race. All cars will be inspected prior to the race.
Trophies are awarded for: 1st, and 2nd place. There are winners in each age group!
Come join us for this fun event! The Soap Box Derby is fun for the whole family!
