As this will be our first Soapbox Derby, please be patient if things are not perfect! Our goal is to make this an annual event. We welcome your feedback to help us improve things next year.
Our course will be designed to be fun for beginners, notextreme. Racers will start on a specially-designed ramp, courtesy of Greyback Construction, and then zoom across our flat enclosed parking lot. There will be gentle curves in the track, but no hairpin turns.
All drivers must have a completed and signed "WAIVER".
All drivers must wear a helmet and closed-toe shoes (i.e. sneakers).
Please see "BUILDING GUIDELINES" for car specifications if you will be creating/entering your own (i.e. four wheels, brakes and steering).
All entrants will be allowed (at least) one practice run down the ramp and through the course.
Cars/Drivers will be organized into brackets and race two at a time (TBD). The winner of each race will advance to the next round, while the other driver will be eliminated.
We will have awards to encourage creative design and (of course) speed:
Most Creative Design - 9 and under (for children who enter their own creation)
Best Time - 9 and under
Most Creative Design - 10 and over (for children who enter their own creation)
Best Time - 10 and over
Most Creative Design -16 and over (for children/adult who enter their own creation)
Best Time - 16 and over
Please note: There will be a $20.00 entry fee per driver providing his/her own car, and $30.00 per driver using the cars provided.
