ZUCCHINI RACE RULES

§          The number one rule is that the purpose of the race is to be creative and have fun!

§          Zucchini must BE the vehicle, not just added to an existing form of locomotion e.g. strapping a zucchini     to a skateboard. Wheel axles must penetrate the zucchini.

§      Races will be held in heats with the winner of each heat advancing until we have a champion, so design with some durability in mind. Prizes to be announced on race day.

§      Secondary prizes will be awarded for creativity and the vehicle that best celebrates our muse for the day: zucchini!

§          The racetrack will not be able to accommodate vehicles that exceed 10” in width.

§          Depending on the number of entries we may split the races into age groups. All ages are welcome and encouraged to participate.
