PDX Adult Soapbox Derby

Camaraderie, Competition and Community.

"Once a year a brave group of racers convene on the daunting slopes of Mt. Tabor to test their metal to their mettle. These pages
are dedicated to all those who have spilled their blood, or even worse, spilled their BEER. We thank the community and our beloved volcano for allowing us to tickle her spine."

"Flexing Portland's creative muscle since 1997"

Disclaimer: Portland's PDX Adult Soapbox Derby is a  90 + volunteer-fueled grass roots community event traditionaly held the third Saturday in the month of August.
