About the Derby

Soap Box Derby is open to boys and girls ages 7-20.

 

You must be 7 by the local race date and cannot be 18 by August 1st of the current race year.  Master Division driver age limit is 10 by the local race date and cannot be 20 by August 1st of the current year.

 

Soap Box Derby has a long history of building more than racers.   It has a history of building character, friendships and the desire to achieve.  We believe that kids involved with our program should be taught the value of hard work and good sportsmanship.  We see this as a priority for when this happens everybody is a winner.  With parental guidance and participation, Soap Box Derby is an educational as well as a fun experience for all involved.

 

Lafayette Soap Box Derby races four divisions:  Stock, Super Stock, Masters and Challenger.  The Stock, Super Stock and Masters winners earn the right to compete at the All-American Soap Box Derby in Akron, Ohio in July.

 

Organizers of the LSBD are all volunteers and we are always looking for additional help.
