⭐ Key Pre-Race Dates

🧪 Inspection & Weigh-In Nights

January 20–22
Your Scout’s car must be fully built and ready for inspection by these dates. After check-in, the Scout will no longer be in possession of their car until after the Race.

You’ll complete:

• Weight check

• Size confirmation

• Wheel/axle inspection

• Final approval, with assigned number applied to the bottom of the car

🚨 Cars with non-compliance to the Rules and Regulations will be given an opportunity to improve before Race Day.
No race-day inspections and submissions allowed.

📸 Scout Interview Prep

Every Scout will be interviewed by our Cubmaster during the race.

Help your Scout prepare:

• Their car name, (Scouts can use any number they like on the car, as the Pack will assign an identifier on the bottom of the car at inspection.)

• Something special about their build

• A fun fact about themselves

  • favorite food

  • dream superpower

  • favorite hobby

This gives each Scout their moment in the spotlight!
