Date set for 2014 Derby

We have a date for this year's Derby: July 26th.

Categories, like always, include Fastest, Slowest, and Best in Show (both adult and youth), as well as Fastest BlastCar. 

We have, however, decided to eliminate the category for Illegal cars.  When the category was created, it was intended for rockets, remote controls, non-traditional materials, etc.  Over time it has mostly become a category for cars that couldn't get down to regulation weight.  If this applies to your car, we will likely still allow you to race as an illegal, there just won't be a trophy.

The other thing that's new this year, is that we are asking competitors to pay an entry fee.  Not only will this cover consumables like CO2 cartridges for the BlastCars, but we would like to upgrade to an aluminum track which is out of our budget ($700-1,000).  This should help to eliminate some of the lane advantages that currently exist.  Please pay an amount that you/ your family are comfortable with.  We likely won't be able to raise enough to buy the track next year, but we hope it won't take too long.
