Mission Statement
The Greater Des Moines Soap Box Derby’s mission is to educate and inspire youth through fair and honest competition and mentorship. With a primary goal to advance and create family values, the Greater Des Moines Soap Box Derby Association provides an environment in which, parents, grandparents or other adults are encouraged to work hand-in-hand with their children (the racer) to instill basic skills of workmanship, the spirit of competition and the perseverance to complete a project from start to finish. The Greater Des Moines Soap Box Derby Association embraces diversity, facilitates lifelong friendships, teaches the application of math and science concepts and advocates the true spirit of teamwork and sportsmanship.
Description
The Greater Des Moines Soap Box Derby Association is a non-profit youth racing organization for both girls and boys ages 7 - 21. The racers compete driving a gravity powered kit car in one of three divisions: Stock Division, Super Stock Division and Masters Division. The Soap Box Derby has run nationally since 1934 and locally since 1937 kids have been racing and competing down the streets and hills of Central Iowa. In 1970, due to the sport’s popularity, a permanent track facility was built in Ewing Park on Des Moines’ southside and remains there today.
