Local History

Since 1939, the NHSBD has held youth racing events that are open to boys and girls between the ages of 7 through 20. Contestants build then race gravity powered cars in three classes: Stock, Super Stock and Masters. Residents of New Hampshire, southern Maine, and southern Vermont can participate in the Annual Local Race. The winning racer in each of the classes qualifies to represent NH in Akron, OH to compete in the First Energy All American Soap Box Derby Championship held each July. In addition rally races in the region held during the spring and fall allow racers to practice and improved their driving skills. Rally racers can accumulate points to potentially qualify to race in the rally championships held along with the local championships in Akron

* During WWI there were some years that the races were postponed
