What: Geneva will be having an Official All American Soap Box Derby Local Race for the Stock Division only. Boys and girls, ages 7 - 13, who compete must use Official AASBD cars that pass AASBD specifications. At the end of the day Geneva will have their All American Soap Box Derby Local Champion who is automatically invited to Akron, Ohio for the World Championship race the last weekend in July.
When: June 20, 2015.
Where: Our race will be held on 2nd street between Campbell and Fulton.
How: You will want to attend an information meeting to understand the process of purchasing a car and what is expected of all racers and car handlers. After that you will need to purchase a new or used stock car and attend a construction meeting(clinic) where the process of car construction will be gone over in detail. There are a few loaner cars available that have been provided by area businesses. Contact your race director for more info. You will need to register to participate in the Geneva Local race. Deadline to register is 1 week before race date. Registration forms are available on our Forms page, you will also find other useful information there as well. Participants must live in Kane or Dekalb County and comply with AAASBD rules and regulations. We also suggest looking for potential sponsors to help underwrite the costs on your racer. Have a fun building experience and good luck on the track!
