We're calling all speed demons, grease monkeys, crackpot inventors and rubber-neckers! We need teams of up to 4 people to design, construct and race a gravity-powered vehicle down our steep and extremely dangerous off-road course. Prizes awarded for multiple categories, including:
The course will start straight and mostly level where team members will be allowed to push start the soapbox, at the end of this section the course drops downhill. Athough the main hill is straight there will be obstacles and varying terrain. At the bottom of the hill the course feeds into a large banked corner that curves to the right into a central field where the finish line will be.
Teams are allowed a minimum of 2 practice and 2 timed runs down the course. Prizes will be awarded for time, performance, style, creative engineering. These times will also detirmine the starting order for those who wish to participate in a head-to-head, Mad Max endorsed, championship elimination. There will be no prizes awarded for this, but hey, maybe you'll live.
Location: Lookout Arts Center (directions)
Deadline: All team registrations must be received by September 10th 2011
