Interested in Building a Racer?
Ready to roll? Now's your chance to be part of something exciting right here in our neighborhood!
We're inviting anyone – kids, teens, adults, families, and teams, to build your own gravity-powered soapbox racer for the upcoming Neighborhood Soapbox Derby.
No engines, no motors. Just wheels, gravity, and your own creativity. Whether you're aiming for speed, style, or just want to be part of the fun, there's room for everyone on the starting line. This is a chance to build something real, race with neighbors, and make some great memories. Start sketching your ideas now. We can't wait to see what you come up with!
Never built one before? Don't worry, we've got examples, ideas, and simple rules to get you started.

Last year we were able to get some kits that supplied the metal parts for wheels and steering. Sadly that company is no more. We are working on being able to source alternative parts.
