What You Need to Know to Register

Yes, you can. However, you will not be included in the official heats. You will however, get to have a couple of goes racing down Sanger Street. 

We are a community-based event with volunteer staffing – and everything we can do to streamline the event is encouraged.

To get your cart on the starting line, follow these steps. Pre-registration is highly recommended to ensure your spot in the heats.

1. Review the Specs Before you enter ensure your cart meets the specifications and read the Rules and Regulations. Common requirements include:

• Steering: Must be functional and safe (rope steering is often permitted in lower classes; fixed steering for Pros).
• Brakes: Effective braking systems are mandatory.
• Dimensions: Maximum width and length restrictions usually apply to fit the lanes.
• Safety Gear: All drivers must wear an approved safety helmet, enclosed footwear, long sleeves, and long pants.
• Transponder: All carts will need to be fitted with a transponder to record your race times. You will need to have a steel or stainless-steel block for the magnets to stick.
