Phoenix Gravity Race

My wife’s family and my family built cars and raced in the Soap Box Derby. We learned so many skills from building our cars. We also learned skills when racing our car. Every year we were designing what we thought would be the next best car. We wanted our two girls to also learn those skills. The girls built their cars and to this day are still using the skills they learned. Something changed with The All American Soap Box Derby. They stopped letting children build and design their own cars. Now you are required to buy the Kit Car from Akron in order to race. It is a Pre-built Car, and everybody races the exact same car, they are expensive.
