About Arlington Soap Box Derby

The Arlington Soap Box Derby, founded in 2008, has been promoting STEM education, good sportsmanship, and collaboration in the Arlington area by offering car building clinics, renting club cars, and hosting an annual race. The winner of the local race has the chance to attend the All-American Soap Box Derby World Championships at Derby Downs in Akron, Ohio. The event encourages families to come together and work on a project. It helps children develop self-confidence, perseverance, and craftsmanship as well as teaching proper use of tools. Through the event, kids are given the opportunity to be active in the racing circuit, while parents gain new abilities, making it a win-win for everyone involved.

STOCK
The Stock division is designed to give the first-time builder a learning experience. Boys and girls, 7 through 14 compete in simplified cars built from kits purchased from the All-American. These kits assist the Derby novice by providing a step-by-step layout for construction of a basic lean forward style car.

SUPER STOCK
The Super Stock Car division is designed to be able to be an entry level for an older child but also gives the competitor an opportunity to expand their knowledge and build a more advanced model. Racers are between ages 9 through 19 and like the stock division makes use of kits and shells available from the International Soap Box Derby.
