2010
June 7th - A consolation bracket is
now being added. This will be a combined race of Super
Stocks vs. Stock. All racers who lose their first two races
will be out of competitive racing but now will have a chance to race
for the consolation trophy!
Race format change - What a blessing 61 racers is! In light of
the number of entrants, we did some quick calculations and discovered that the
original double elimination, two races equals one heat, format would
take us approximately 12 hours to conduct the race. To ensure
we get all the racing in, we need to change the format slightly.
We will still use a double elimination but one race will equal one
heat. As drivers come to the ramp, they will flip a coin to
discover what lane they will compete in each race. Because of
the above, we are adding a consolation bracket to ensure our kids
the maximum racing possible. Each racer will go down the hill
three times at a minimum!
June 6th- We had a blast at the
inspection day on Saturday. Thank you to all who showed up on
time. Have you seen a picture of the
adult cars that we will feature on
race day?

on June 5th; that time will be included in the letter.

Corporate Cup Challenge - We are excited
to announce the beginning of what we think will be a hilarious
aspect for our youth participants, spectators and adult racers - the
Corporate Cup Challenge. Now select adults will be able to
challenge each other in the thrill of our down hill race in
specially designed adult derby cars!
You can get more information here.
March 1st - By far, the
biggest news of the year for the Quincy Soap Box Derby is our
parting from the All American Soap Box Derby. The change will
in no way be detrimental to our local race - in fact, we expect the
2010 event to be the best year yet! We wanted to tailor the
event to our local racers' needs and wants. As such,
rule changes have been made. In
addition, rather than spending a weekend in Akron, OH, our top
winners will enjoy a fun-filled weekend in St.Louis, Missouri -
attending a Cardinal baseball game, Six Flags, the zoo and more!
