Remember folks as you put the finishing touches to your mean machines that on Race Day secret Lions Club appointed agents will be casting very experienced eyes around both machines and pit crews to determine who will be the prize winners in the Best traditional cart, best dressed up cart, best dressed competitor and best pit crew team. So save some of that energy you are directing to preparing for what will be fun family day to dressing up both yourself and your cart.

There are not many rules on the day really - all carts must pass scruitneering between 7.30 and 9.15am at the RFS shed on Sunday 4 May, all carts must have a seat and brakes and meet the specifications, each cart can only be used once in each race category, all participants must wear a helmet, all drivers must enjoy themselves, all present must listen intently to the Mayor’s opening speech, all carts must try and break the Police radar limits, all spectators must cheer loudly, all Lions Club members must last the day.
There will be a parade for traditional carts at the start of the day which is for carts that conform to the normal specifications but must have rope steering only. This will be a parade not be a race and parents are encouraged to become involved by pushing the carts down the 100 metres or so involved – maybe with next year’s champion driving ! Carts involved in this parade can of course become involved in the actually races.
Many thanks to all sponsors and the band of volunteers who make this day work.
