8:30 AM OPENING CEREMONY - 9:00 AM RACES BEGIN
2012 marks the fifth year of the Dunwoody-NE Georgia Soap Box Derby -- and our fourth as a fully sanctioned head-to-head competition.
Since 2008, when we began this racing tradition as a fun, non-sanctioned test of car and driver, the number of cars and drivers has grown each year -- and this year we are expecting our largest groups of drivers ever.
In addition to racing Stock and Super Stock cars, we have a Super Kids Race for children with disabilities, with winners in each category going on to race in Akron, OH in July at the 75th Annual All-American Soap box Derby World Championships.
The event is presented by Dunwoody NE GA Soap Box Derby Association.

1958 Porsche 356 Speedster
The 1958 Porsche 356 Speedster marks the swan song of one of Porsche’s most iconic and minimalist models. Originally introduced in 1954 at the urging of U.S. importer Max Hoffman, the Speedster was designed to be a low cost, lightweight, stripped-down entry sports car that could double as a weekend racer, especially for the California sports car scene.
