Some of you may not be on Facebook, so here’s some info. This is not a league race, it was put together in hopes for those that had their race canceled, or to get their feet wet in proxy racing. Everyone is welcome to race. We hope that you can get the word out to Scouts or racers that might be interested. Please like and share so we can reach as many people as possible!!!
(Date change, sponsors,and rule adjustment. Please read entire post)
With all the Pinewood derby races being cancelled all across America there are a lot of heavy heart’s. Well we are going to help. Maximum Velocity is teaming up with the National Pinewood Derby Racing League (www.npwdrl.com), Derby Worx, and Derby Evolution on May 2nd to host the Coronavirus Sucks race. There will be a graphite and oil class. Door prizes? Ya we have those, thanks to our awesome sponsors your cars will return home with some swag. See the rules posted below.(slight change to the original post, to allow for Mid America wheel cuts to race)
This race will be free of charge, however this is our soul income so any donation will be appreciated but not at all expected. The race will be a proxy race,(all cars that will be racing on Saturday will need to be here by Thursday April 30th. The race will be streamed live on YouTube so you can all be part of the action. We so truly appreciate all your support, and hope to serve you in the future!! There will be trophies and working on some other giveaways, if you are interested in donating prizes for giveaways please Private Message me. Any questions post them here. Registration form will be found here. Please register ASAP so we have a idea of what to plan for.
One last thing. Race to have fun, to enjoy the experience. If you don’t have the means or desire to run the latest and greatest stuff, no big deal. HAVE FUN no matter how fast you are. Don’t deny your child or yourself the experience because you may not win.
