4th Annual LiveDAYBREAK Soap box Derby
Soap Box Derby & Gravity Race
May 4, 12 - 3 PM
Basin Park: 5082 W SPLIT ROCK DR
Join LiveDAYBREAK for our 4th Annual Soap Box Derby on May 4th from 12 - 3 PM! In addition to the main race, we'll have a mini soap box track, food trucks, and lots more racing fun! We're calling out all drivers and their Soap Box cars looking to race head-to-head in Stock car divisions and a timed trial in Freestyle divisions. NOW is the time to get your cars ready for the big day. The Freestyle race won't be your standard straight course, so make your car stable, creative, and fast!
Inspection Day is April 29th, 5-7 PM on SoDa Row. Racers and their cars must be present on the inspection day to pass the LiveDAYBREAK safety guidelines. This is mandatory to ensure that brakes, steering, weight, and driving pass the test.
Race times/placement is determined by car, not racer. If a car has multiple racers, they will compete as one team. They will register their car once and then register additional racers as needed through the add-ons. Stock cars will compete in a bracket, and Freestyle will be a time trial. Freestyle cars will have 1-3 chances to race, depending on the number of cars entered.
