The Adult Soap Box Derby

JULY 24, 2010

This is it, this is the place where you get all the information for the most fun gravity has to offer. This is a unique fun fueled competition for adults 21 and over that combines the excitement of NASCAR and the hilarity of Funniest Home Videos. Let the kids watch and cheer you on as you compete for the Championship and bragging rights. Entries are strictly DIY (DO IT YOURSELF) and held to a workman like standard to make sure you don’t end in a storm of splinters and car parts, though we make no guaranties. It’s a test of engineering ability, racing prowess and sheer determination.

The 2009 Race was an out of the gate sucsess. 25 Racers, from 5 States competed for that coveted Victory Lane spot as an estimated 1000 spectators watched as history was made in Sharon Valley. Competition was both fierce and fun, and before the day was done the hill had claimed 2 and had produced an eye watering 43MPH Top Speed Record and that was all before the nail biting, jaw dropping infamous Le Mans Race.

Don't be too scared, your car doesnt have to be super fast so long as it's super cool and you are looking for a fun day. There are multiple catagories to compete in and at least 1 trophy in every "Class" which include:

1. Speed Class ( 1st,2nd,3rd fastest & others)

2. Creative Class (NEW)

3. Ladies Class (NEW)

4. Crash Class (Broken Wheel, Scarest Ride & more)

5. Emergency Services Class (The Braggin' Bell)

Like we said this is a (DIY) DO IT YOURSELF style competition. That doesn't mean that you have to carve out wooden wheels for your car, but it does mean that go-cart chassis, AASBD Kit Cars or the like will not be eligible for competition within the Speed Class.
