Building the carThe child must build the car with the help of an adult. This is a joint effort between child and adult, but the child must do a lot of the work. There will be 3 Car Construction clinics scheduled to help you with the construction of the car. You can click on Car Construction to find out about an upcoming clinic. There will be a stock and super stock car at each clinic for demonstration purposes.
Initial inspection and Trial runsThere will be an initial inspection on May 19th from 10am - 2pm. Drivers with the last name of A - J should be there at 10am. Drivers with the last name of K - Z should be there at 12pm. The initial inspection is mandatory for all drivers to attend. At this time, you will be notified of any changes that must be made.
Final InspectionThere will be a final inspection of the cars the night before the race. The drivers will have an opportunity to go down the race track as many times as they want to get a feel for the track. It is mandatory that all drivers make at least one pass down the race track. The cars will then be impounded so no further changes can be made.
Race Day - June 3rdThe race will be held on June 3rd, 2007. The race will go from 8:30am until 4pm or until finished. We will be running a double elimination race. A heat consists of two racers going down twice in two phases. They will swap lanes for the second phase. The winner of each heat will move on. You must lose twice to be eliminated. The winning cars and drivers will go to Akron, Ohio with a stipend to participate in the All-American Soap Box Derby.
