Let's go racing! Soap box derby racing is a gravity-powered sport that encourages teamwork among families and kids.

Racers learn about the mechanics of building a car, the driving skills necessary to win, and sportsmanship etiquette. We race on Laurel Boulevard in Pottsville, PA. Soap box derby racing is a great way to express your competitive side, meet new friends and have fun!
