Soap Box Derby

Soap Box Derby

I always wanted to be in a Soap Box Derby. You don't see them around anymore but I think it's a classic American tradition that should be placed in the forefront. I'm not that handy with a hammer but I would love to put one together for my kids someday.

So go buy a kit and visit AASBD.org to find a race near you.

  1. We had one where I live recently as a fundraiser, and I can tell you it was a lot more fun than I thought it would be.

  3. Another reason I was born to late. I never had the chance to take part in one, but have heard rumors that they used to hold one in Newark in the past.

  4. My best buddy won it one year in our hometown and was off to Akron. This was back when Chevrolet was still the sponsor. I could never get any help building one so I was always a spectator.
