Build Day is on January 27th, starting at 8 AM
This event is optional but recommended, especially if you have never raced. If you need assistance making your car from scratch or need to weigh it and have a final tune-up, then plan to attend. All the necessary tools to cut out and work on your car will be available under adult supervision. Experienced adults will be on hand for anyone who needs pointers. However, if you cannot attend your assigned time, come at any time and take as long as you need with your car.
If you need help getting started with a design, here are several templates we've collected over the years:

Weigh-in and Drop off is Friday, February 9th, 6 PM – 8 PM
Weigh your car in and leave it there for races the next day. You must have your car registered on Friday night to race on Saturday. Register your cars using the form below before Weigh-in. Your cars can be dropped off by another family as long as the cars are registered!
Race Day is Saturday, February 10th
Races will take place, according to Dens, in the Friendship Hall at the back of the Whitehouse Methodist Church. We use the Lane Rotation Method – Each participant WILL race 4 times each. The best total time determines the winners. Cars are racing the Clock, not each other. Many participants (1st and 2nd Places) will advance to district races. You are welcome to attend every race with your family!
