Cincinnati Soap Box Derby

The Cincinnati Soap Box Derby is a FREE youth racing program open to any child at least 7 years of age and 17 yrs. old. Children compete by driving their racers in one of two levels of gravity powered racing cars built from kits purchased from the All-American Soap Box Derby.
