Salem Soap Box Derby Association
From it’s beginning six decades ago Salem Soap Box Derby has been teaching kids basic skills of workmanship and craftsmanship, the satisfaction of perseverance, the thrill of competition, the pride of tradition and most importantly, the spirit of sportsmanship.
Blessed with a beautiful racetrack located in Bush Pasture Park racers from all over the west come to compete.
Soap Box Derby provides a unique opportunity for close adult child involvement as the “team” builds, fine tunes and races their car. The ties developed from these relationships last a lifetime as do the friendships formed as part of the derby experience.
Come join our race family and become a part of the Greatest Amateur Racing Event in the Pacific Northwest.
