Stock Division

The Stock Division is designed to give the first-time builder a learning experience. Boys and girls ages 7 -13 will compete in simplified cars built from kits. The stock car can accomodate a racer up to (approx.) 5'3" tall and 125 lbs. and is a lean-forward design. Each car is sold as a kit which includes everything needed for racing with the exception of Z-Glass racing wheels and weights. The stock car weighs about 65 pounds without the driver. Drivers will need to acquire additional weight to bring the car up to the specified weight of 200 pounds. There will be information and building meetings to assist the racer in the building of the stock car. Weight options will be discussed at the meetings.

Racers have a few options for obtaining a car.
Cars can be purchased new online from All American Soap Box Derby at AASBD. Price: $455 for the car kits and wheels cost $110, plus shipping. Weights are not included, contact your Geneva Race Director for additional info or attend a clinic for car construction and how to obtain weights.

Cars can be purchased used. Contact Stan Iglehart for more information at 630-841-8832

Cars can also be found at various business in Geneva. Send us an email with you name, age and address and we will contact you.

Each car kit takes approximately 6 -8 hours to build or longer if builder choses to spend more time. Free clinics will be scheduled to assist racers and builders in the proper construction of their cars.
We strongly suggest that builders do not begin construction of their individual cars until they attend the free Clinics or talk with the Race Director Stan Iglehart.
