• Once a car has been weighed-in, it may not be re-lubricated or modified, except to reattach parts that may have fallen off during the heat.
  

We are looking for volunteers to set up tracks, weigh in, number the cars, call the winners, and run the starting gate. Volunteers should be at the church at 9 am.

Parents and siblings are also encouraged to participate in the Derby, but you must purchase your own car kit at the Scout shop. Please let us know if you are interested.
