It is still a relatively new addition to the town's summer festivities but it is already proving one of the most popular.
Cromer continued the countdown to its annual Carnival with its third annual soapbox derby on Sunday.
Fifteen-year-old Christopher Daykin, from King's Lynn, won the Malcolm McGreadie Cup after completing the Runton Road course in the fastest time.
Hundreds of spectators lined the street for the closed road event, with the return of the high ramp causing carnage.
Reflecting on the day, Cromer Mayor John Frosdick, who helped judge the Concourse de Elegance competition, said: 'The weather has been fantastic and it's good to see so many people here - they've had a really good show today.'
And he added: 'This bodes really well for Carnival, which starts on Saturday (August 12).'
One of the highlights of the day was a race between North Norfolk News reporter Eleanor Pringle and Editor Ally McGilvray, and it was ladies first with Eleanor completing the course in 37 seconds - a whole second ahead of her colleague.
Entrants travelled from far and wide to take part in the growing competition, which this year was sponsored by the Westerleigh Group - the company behind the town's new crematorium.
Adam Cock, a 32-year-old crane driver from Boston in Lincolnshire, drove one of the largest karts the competition has ever seen - a Fireman Sam fire engine. And he revealed the fantastic turnout made the four-hour round-trip worth every minute.
Winning teenager Christopher Daykin, said: 'I've been taking part in the soapbox derby since it start three years ago but this is the first year I have won it - I'm very pleased. The kart is still in one piece so I hope to be back next year.'
The festivities continue in Cromer with the start of Children's Week Two on Monday, August 7, before the Carnival officially gets underway on Saturday, August 12.
Cromer Carnival chairman Tony Shipp added: 'It has been a good event. We've had a good set of entries, both juniors and seniors. There is quite a selection of people from all over the county.
'The second Children's Week will fly by and then we're into the big week and everthihng that happens there, it's just a case of getting on the bus and not getting off until the end of the week.'
