Racers From Around the World Head to Derby Downs for the 76th All-American Soap Box Derby
(firmenpresse) - AKRON, OH -- (Marketwired) -- 07/23/13 -- The FirstEnergy All-American Soap Box Derby has been called the greatest amateur-racing event in the world. On Saturday, July 27 in Akron, Ohio more than 400 racers from around the world will experience the thrill of the hill. Racers will reach speeds of up to 35 miles per hour while soaring down 989-feet of track, at the world-famous Derby Downs.
The Soap Box Derby season runs year-round in over 155 cities across the United States and overseas. Winners go on to compete at the AASBD World Championship in Akron. Racers between the ages of seven and 17 spend months building their gravity-powered racecars and competing in local Soap Box Derby competitions. There are Local and Rally winners in each division. Local winners automatically qualify for the championship race, while Rally racers collect points to earn the chance to compete for a national title.
Racers are uniting with their cars today and will receive their heat numbers and test out the derby track during a series of trial runs. The week of excitement culminates on Saturday with the World Championship races for each division.
