GETTING STARTED:
Kids, don't wait till your 16 to drive. Start driving Soap Box cars now. All American Soap Box Derby lowered the age this year to allow kids as young as 7 to begin racing. A student who is 7 - 20 years of age on race day can race in the Soap Box Derby.
To race in the official races you will need either a Stock, Super Stock, or Masters Car Kit. The Stock and Super Stock car kits cost approximately $550 each. The Masters Car kit costs approximately $700-$1,000 depending on your paint job and detail. These cars can be purchased online at www.soapboxderby.org . Most families seek sponsors through local businesses or corporations to help pay for the cost of the soap box car kit and then provide advertising or logos on their cars. If you need a new soap box car kit you should order and build your car a month or two in advance of the race. Kits can be ordered online at www.aasbd.org.
The stock division is for racers ages 7-13. The Super Stock division is for racers ages 10-19 years of age. The Masters Division is for racers ages 10-19. Super Kids Division is for any child age 7+.
