ALL AMERICAN SOAP BOX DERBY RULES AND RULE UPDATES

All American Soap Box Derby Rules. The official rules of the All-American Derby youth program is administered by International Soap Box Derby, Inc., An Akron-based non-profit corporation.

Local race programs are sponsored by a variety of civic clubs, service organizations and business firms. These groups establish their local Derby administrative and promotional organizations to conduct the program. Local race organizations are responsible for a license fee to the International Soap Box Derby to support activities of their champions while in Akron, liability insurance, and administrative expenses.

Technical conduct of the Derby program is the responsibility of the National Control Board, which sets the rules and provides interpretation and enforcement.

Acting as liaisons between the All-American and the local Derby groups are the Regional Directors, who have been appointed to assist in communications and coordination. The District 2 Director is Mr. Wes Foster.
