Race Programs

The All-American Soap Box Derby (AASBD) World Championship is an event held annually in Akron, Ohio each July. There are three ways in which participants may become eligible to compete in the AASBD World Championship:

1. The Local Race Program

2. The Rally Program

3. The Ultimate Speed Program

The Local Race Program is a race held annually by an AASBD licensed Local Race City Organization. A participant is required to enter and compete in the Local Race closest to his or her residence. The winner of a Local Race is called a "Local Champion" and is eligible to compete in the AASBD World Championship in Akron, Ohio against other Local Champions.

The Rally Program allows participants to earn points by racing in various AASBD licensed Rally Races throughout the United States and Canada. A participant in this program races to win a "Rally Regional Title". A winner of a Rally Regional Title is considered a "Rally Champion" and is eligible to compete in the AASBD World Championship in Akron, Ohio against other Rally Champions.

The Ultimate Speed Challenge is an All-American Soap Box Derby sanctioned racing format developed to preserve the tradition of innovation, creativity, and craftsmanship in the design of a gravity powered racing vehicle while generating intrigue, excitement and engaging the audience at the annual All-American Soap Box Derby competition.
