RACE DAY
7:00AM - Streets will be closed & monitored by police
7:15AM - 8:00AM - Crews please follow the red arrows for soapbox car/tent drop-off. (see map below) Wood St. will be one-way in and Phoenix St. will be one-way out. Crews can set-up in the green areas (pit row). After drop-off, you can park your trucks & trailers west of Wood Street.
8:00AM - 9:00AM – Racer/ Pusher “Check-in” and car inspection at the start line. Upon check-in, drivers will participate in a one card blind draw from a deck of playing cards. The drawn card determines the placement in round one. Entries are grouped into color divisions.
9:00AM - 11:00AM - Practice runs
11:30AM - Driver/Pusher meeting @ start line
Noon - 🏁 Race starts 🏁
Each heat is run with 2 or 3 cars. Prior to each heat, drivers will do another blind draw for lane assignments (one, two or three)
No changing pushers or drivers once the race has begun. (unless injury)
The pusher can only push for one driver.
Each team will be allowed a 5-yard (15 feet) push at the start line.
If any part of the pusher's body touches the ground beyond the 5-yard line, the team will receive a foul and in the event of a "close" finish, the win will be awarded to the other driver.
Driver may rock his/her body back and forth for energy, but cannot touch the wheels or ground.
Stay in your lane. Intentional lane departure will result in a loss for that heat.
Any interference with other cars is strictly prohibited and will result in disqualification
After the finish line, car wranglers are positioned on the run-off hill and will assist the cars turning around. If you are not comfortable with your car in a stranger's hands, you may BYOW - Bring Your Own Wrangler. Your wrangler will have to sign a waiver.
To help slow the cars coming down the "after finish run-off hill", some sort of braking device is required. Bicycle caliper brakes are most effective; however, a drag brake or rub brake is acceptable. Caliper brakes pinch the wheel or disc. Drag brakes rub against the asphalt. Rub brakes rub against the wheel. A simple two x four with rubber on the end is better than nothing.
First place receives the win and moves on in the winner’s bracket.
Second and third places receive a loss and drop to the loser’s bracket.
In the event of a loss, the designation to the right of the driver’s name will determine the placement in the loser’s bracket.
If 3a loses, they move to L-3a. If 3b loses, they move to L-3b.
If 3ab loses they move to either L-3a or L-3b, depending on what’s available after 3a or 3b has been placed.
The race begins with the 0-0 round followed by the loser’s bracket 0-1 round. Next is the winner’s bracket 1-0 round followed by the loser’s bracket 1-1 round and so on…
Cars are eliminated after two losses.
Trophies are awarded to the fastest “speed-style cars” and crowd voted “show-style cars”.
