Portland's PDX Adult Soapbox Derby

Portland's PDX Adult Soapbox Derby True PDX Color Camaraderie, Competition and Community

"Once a year a brave group of racers convene on the daunting slopes of Mt.

Tabor to test their metal to their mettle. These pages are dedicated to all those who have spilled their blood, or even worse, spilled their BEER! We thank our beloved volcano for allowing us to tickle her spin, traditionally every third Saturday of August."
