Soap Box Derby Racing

Racers will be competing in their own gravity powered racers for the title of McKeesport All American Soap Box Derby Local Race Champion. For 2019 there will a Stock Superstock and Master Division race.  The race is open to boys and girls ages 7 - 20.

The Soap Box Derby has run nationally since 1934. It is a unique program that encourages close parent-child activities while building and racing the car. The construction of the gravity race car reinforces the importance of setting and completing goals while developing traits such as self-confidence, perseverance, and craftsmanship. Parents can learn new abilities while teaching children the proper use of tools. The youth is encouraged to do as much of the work as their level permits. World Championship finals are held late July at Derby Downs in Akron, Ohio.

This is an exciting event that you will not want to miss as a racer and spectator. Any boys or girls interested in building and racing are encouraged to send an email to: pghsoapboxderby@yahoo.com.
