| Dear All-American Soap Box Derby Families, At its meeting on Thursday, Jan, 12, 2012, the All- American Soap Box Derby’s Board of Directors approved changes to four rules, as our participating race families throughout the world have been requesting. These changes, which are all effective immediately, are intended to reduce the expense of purchasing new racer components, to encourage participation and to promote fair competition. The changes are: Floorboards: The All-American organization is rescinding a change that was to take effect on Aug. 1, 2012, requiring racers to buy new floorboards. Any floorboard will be permitted as long as it has been engraved with the Soap Box Derby logo (a process that began in 1999). Axles: Also rescinded is a rule change requiring new axles. In the Stock and Super Stock divisions, axles made in 2000 and newer years are permitted; Masters’ car axles must be from 2004 or newer. Year of manufacture is stamped on the axles. Floorboard coatings: Racers now can coat their floorboards with tung oil in addition to wax. The current rule limits any coating to wax. Epoxy: Epoxy will now be permitted when installing the kingpin to hold the kingpin in place tightly. |
