After some kids from Palo Alto and Campbell raced in Vallejo in 2006 there were plenty of drivers ready to race in Silicon Valley. We were able to organize our own race. After reviewing many potential race sites, we decided on Dana Street in Mountain View. Thanks to financial and logistical support, as well as manpower from Air Systems Inc of San Jose, and the backing of the Palo Alto Elks, the kids were able to race closer to home. This also allowed us to bring Super kids racing back to California. Unfortunately, racing on Dana Street became too expensive and we moved the races to Hanover Street in Palo Alto. During the 2015-16 rally season we began racing in Livermore, San Jose, and Tuolumne. In 2019 Folsom and Los Gatos were added as race sites. We continue to look for new locations, hoping to give more Northern California kids the opportunity to experience the Soap Box Derby.
