About Us

We are more than just a soapbox derby team—we are a community. Our mission is to give kids of all backgrounds the chance to learn, grow, and shine through the excitement of racing. We believe that sports don’t look the same for everyone, and that’s the beauty of it. By building cars together, we build confidence, teamwork, and friendships that last. On our team, every child has a place at the starting line, no matter where they come from or what challenges they face. With gravity as our engine and encouragement as our fuel, we race not just to win—but to uplift.
