Marietta Soap Box Derby

First: Complete Derby information can be found at the All-American Soap Box Derby Headquarters website. Their online store front has all the information you need to order racing kits and parts. The official rule book can be downloaded for your review, and their message board is a good place to learn about Derby racing.

Second: Keep an eye on our site or sign-up for our email alerts for information on racing in our area and to find information on our construction clinics and other programs that may be of assistance to you.

Third: Decide which type of car you wish to build. Our local derby director, Devan Seabaugh, will be able to help you with this information. You also may want to look for a sponsor to help underwrite the cost of your racer. You will normally need to purchase a car kit and a set of Z-Glas racing wheels. All kits and parts for Soap Box Derby racing must be purchased through the All-American Soap Box Derby.

Fourth: Read the official plans and build your car exactly as the instructions indicate. Plan to attend our construction clinics this spring. These clinics are intended to help you understand the regulations and guide you in building a safe and competitive car.

Finally: In addition to racing in our local race, you may participate in rally races as well. You will gain experience and with each trip down the hill, build the bond between driver and parent/guardian, and make new friends along the way.

Email Alert Sign-up:  To receive important notifications regarding deadlines, clinic and race updates.
