The Oakfield Box Car Derby Association presents the 3rd annual Oakfield Box Car Derby on Saturday, July 26th 2025, at 12PM on Bennett Avenue in Oakfield, NY.
This will be the only Box Car Derby event in Genesee County this year and is open to all residents of the county and GLOW region.
We are a local family, and friends based non-profit organization founded to hold this annual event for the children of Oakfield and surrounding communities. The event promotes STEM programs, teaches some basic car building skills, and gives the kids a chance to use hand tools. Kids get an opportunity to customize their cars and then race them.
The event is in memory of Suzanne “Sue” D’Alba who was one of the founders of the Oakfield Betterment Committee and the Oakfield Labor Daze festival, as well as a volunteer and member of many other civic organizations. She always liked a good old-fashioned event, and we feel this fits that mold.
Please join us as it will be a family-friendly, fun-filled event which promotes competitiveness and sportsmanship. There will be prizes for all that attend. To register please see the information below. Register now as we have 32 slots available, and they are filling fast.
Registration is open from 6/1/25 – 7/10/25 and is on a first come first serve basis. The registration fee is $25 per child. Open to boys and girls from 7-13 years old. Two divisions 7-10 and 11-13. To register please call or text Scott at 716-218-6000.
