What is Soap Box Derby?
Soap box derby is a race of none motorized cars that are bought from The Official Soap Box Derby. there are three soap box derby races avalible, which are stock cars, super stock, and master division. Stock and superstock can be puchased only from The Official Soap Box Derby, were as the Masters division cars have to be completely homemade. In the Great Alaska Soap Box Derby we only use super stock cars at this time, maybe later when we get more support we'll get more divisions. Well, to get back on track these cars are then propelled down a very smooth hill till they reach the finish line.
