These gravity car races allow those with mental and physical disabilities the experience of a thrilling soap box derby-type race while riding in a car piloted by a typically developing driver who is 10 years old or older. The co-driver is a racer with developmental disabilities (no taller than 5’2” and 130 pounds or less).

Two cars, propelled by gravity, race down the street to the finish line. Each car has brakes so that the driver can safely stop it. Each racer with developmental disabilities has the opportunity to race multiple times during each event.
