Don't miss out on this fun event. You don't need anything fancy to race. Just something that will roll down hill. A wagon or even your bike. Hope to see everyone there. Bring food!

Finally a decent Saturday to get out and ride. It was beautiful! Randy and his dad worked on their gravity racer all day. Looking forward to seeing everyone on the 18.
PLEASE DO A BRAKE AND WHEEL CHECK BEFORE LAUNCHING!

Eric,
My Rust Rocket is fully error-dynamic, so Im good to go!

I'm bringing hay bales, picked them up this morning. I will find some cones to put along the bad part of the track along the bottom. It would be nice if anyone has a 4 wheeler (motorized) that could be used to pull the cars up the hill. I will also paint a finish line across the track. Any suggestions ?

Talking to people at the Shamrock tonight it sounds like it will be a good turn out.
Someone may be bringing something to tow the racers up the hill.
As for food anything is fine. So far I've heard there will be fried chicken, pasta salad and sandwiches of some sort.

#15 Randy (Homepage) on 2009-04-16 22:34 (Reply)

Put me down for some tater salad. Just can't wait!

#16 Cameron Eyhorn on 2009-04-17 19:46 (Reply)

My mom is bringing some sort of Taco Salad and I think we are bringing some sort of cookie... and some flat black racing action to dish out...

#17 Erick (Homepage) on 2009-04-17 22:09 (Reply)

11 hours to go and I think Im done. Got steering, Got brakes... kinda. Hope I dont have to "test" the hay bales!
See you all in the morning.
