We Rent Cars!
Racing is a lot of fun for the whole family, but getting started can also be a little intimidating.  If you'd like to try the sport, we can help you out.  You can rent a soapbox derby car from the club.  These cars are very competitive, and they come with a helmet, wheels, weights, a driver fitting, and as much free advice as you're willing to listen to.  Please contact our Derby Director for more information.
 
Fund Raising
The club is currently selling Vande Walle's candy bars. For each box sold, $10 will go into your driver's own personal account to help cover the cost of upcoming local race fees. Please contact us if you are interested in selling candy bars for the club.
 
Kingpin Updates PDF Print E-mail
Stock Division: If upon measuring, any stock car that is found to have the front kingpin greater than 7-15/16” from the front center of the floorboard to the center of the front kingpin, the floorboard is now considered illegal and can no longer be used.

Stock Division: The center of the front king pin to the center of the rear king pin is 61-1/8”, with a tolerance of +/- 1/16”. If upon measuring, these conditions are not met, the floorboard is now considered illegal and can no longer be used.

Super Stock Division: If upon measuring, the front kingpin is found to be greater than 5 13/16” from the front center of the floorboard to the center of the front king pin, the floorboard is now considered illegal and can no longer be used.

Super Stock Division: The center of the front king pin to the center of the rear king pin is 63 3/8”, with the tolerance of +/- 1/16”. If upon measuring these conditions are not met, the floorboard is now considered illegal and can no longer be used. The rationale behind this phase out period is listed below:

  1. (1) Racers were permitted to re-drill their king pin hole in order to install the bushing
  2. (2) Some racers have taken advantage of the opportunity to re-drill the king pin hole and as a result have moved the hole closer to the rear of the car.
  3. (3) With the above occurring, this has created an unfair advantage to the racers that installed their bushing properly and are racing with floorboards manufactured after 2005.

Please see the Rule Book page on the All-American Soap Box Derby website for the latest information about rule changes and updates.
