Street Luge
Border Bogie Challenge, Denholm, Scottish Borders
The Border Bogie Challenge takes place in the beautiful conservation village of Denholm in the heart of the Scottish Borders. It's an insane, fast-paced timetrial race down a hill on a typical rural country road, (which will have been closed to vehicles for the duration, obviously!) in a homemade bogie (or a go-kart for those of you who aren't lucky enough to be Scottish).
And don't forget, for those mums and dads who are prepared to endanger their children for the entertainment of others, there will be two, possibly three kids runs in the morning for the under-sixteens.
Juniors and Senior races.- Classes for Soapbox Cartie, Gravity Sidecar, Gravity Bike and Pedal Bike.
- SCA Championship points available.
