You just won your local race but you have never been to the All-American in Akron, OH to experience ChampionshipWeek and the excitement leading up to the race. The All-American Soap Box Derby is a week long event climaxing with the crowning of the world champions at the race on Saturday . Each racer brings buttons to trade with other champs to remember their experiences and friends. Each racer is introduced and brief information about the racer is told.
Parents pick up their packets of information of the weeks events.
All of this takes place on the University of Akron's campus. You'll be given information as to the start and location. Every participant takes a test run down the hill. You only get one run so make it count. VIP parents also get a shot down the hill in the VIP race.
