Pennyrile Soapbox Derby Association was formed in 2008 to provide a unique racing program for the youth of Madisonville, Kentucky, and surrounding counties. PSDA’s Mission Statement is continuing to promote the values of sportsmanship, friendship, and community involvement that originated with Soapbox Dery in 1934. Youth and their families have a unique opportunity to work together as a unit spending quality time trying to achieve a common goal. Children are introduced to aspects of science and technological concepts that are applied to building and racing soapbox derby cars. In 2009, PSDA hosted the first local race with our local champ advancing to the World Championship in Akron, Ohio. Soapbox racing incorporates the ideal of gravity powered cars without engines racing on city streets or soapbox derby hills. Girls and boys compete in 3 different divisions, Stock- ages 7-13, Super Stock ages 9-18, and Masters ages 10-21. PSDA host our local race every June on Baldwin Drive in Madisonville, KY. PSDA also host a Super Kids race annually and a Spring and Fall Rally Race.
