Teams of up to 10 students and two educators spent several months building and fine-tuning their Stock and Super Stock division race cars which they raced at Derby Downs. In addition, they worked on an optional contest of designing and racing scale model Soap Box Derby Mini-Cars.
Area high school teams also competed in the Engineering Design Challenge division. Teams had been provided kits that included the floorboard, axles, wheels, steering and braking systems, as well as a list of materials they can use in the design and construction of the body. Some teams built their cars to run the fastest, while others customized and decorated their entries to look unique.
