This will be an event for all the family and the whole community. The track uses the footpath that stretches for about 400 metres, with bends, straights, chicanes, and a few obstacles to negotiate. There will be two classes. Juniors 8 - 13yrs and adult class up to 89yrs. A cart can be entered in more than one class. Each class can have a different driver, e.g. a friend or sibling.

Prizes will be awarded for best time trial, best looking cart, best driving and top speed. A medal will also be awarded to all team entries.

Places are limited, so register now and get building your soap box. If you are a youth group, social club, church, local company, scouts or uniform group or just mad about soap box. Get involved and enter now as it's first come first served.
