    Soapbox Derby Race Day Alerts

    Again this year, we are offered alerts sent to a cell phone OR an email address. Subscribers received a text alert whenever theri racers advanced or were eliminated from the race. Great for friends or family who could not be at the race.

    Race Day Ladders Update

    The race ladders were updated continuously on race day so you (or family and friends) could watch the action from your computer if you could not make it to the race. We will be doing this again next year.
