FirstEnergyAll-American Soap Box Derby Countdown

About Us

Our track is located in South Charleston, WV in Little Creek Park.  We have the only dedicated track in West Virginia. Our track has lights, allowing us to race at night and is one of the few tracks in the US that is lighted.  We hold 5-6 races per year from April to October.  KVSBDA has over 30 loaner cars, available on a first come, first served basis.

 

We also have a WV Super Kids division for racers with special needs or disabilites, ages 7-18 years old.  An experienced co-driver pilots the Super Kid in derby cars built for two to experience the thrill of the hill!  WV Super Kids hold a Local Championship Race each May and several fun races throughout the year.
