FAQ
Questions about this system
Is this approved for official All-American Soap Box Derby events?
Yes. Our SBD systems and AXWareDerby ladders follow All-American Soap Box Derby national competition standards. Contact us for current certification details.
What's the benefit of wireless vs. hardwired for SBD?
SBD tracks are short — hardwired works fine for permanent installs. Wireless (5842) wins for temporary setups at rally venues, church lots, or scout events where laying cable across the finish line isn't practical.
Running an official Soap Box Derby program?
Let us know whether you're a local rally, regional championship, or permanent facility. We'll configure a timing and scoreboard package that meets the sanctioning requirements.
