Soap Box Derby Race Week Overview
On July

and their families – the largest increase in numbers in derby
history -- to Akron, Ohio for a weeklong celebration. This year’s
crop of local winners, representing 43 states and three foreign countries
will compete at legendary Derby Downs
on July 30 for the title of AASBD World Champion.
As always, there
