Come see if your car has what it takes to get the gold medal! Design your car for form and function, as there are prizes for both fastest car and “best in show” as voted by your peers. And all racers will receive a free LEGO® minifigure from the Minifig Maker table!How to play:
▪ Stop by the store to purchase your official metal wheel and axle kit for $12 - yours to keep forever!
▪ Take the kit home and build your car using any combination of LEGO bricks (see specifications below)
▪ Pre-register your car here: http://bricksandminifigseugene.com/readytorace
▪ Return with your car - ready to race! - on Friday, May 10 at 6:00pm (6:00pm checkin / 6:15pm best-in-show voting / 6:30pm racing starts)
Car specifications:
▪ Maximum car dimensions are 9 inches long, 3 inches wide, and 4 inches high
▪ Maximum car weight is 9.5 ounces. The goal of this limit is to encourage builders to focus on real derby physics, rather than trying to maximize weight. Plus heavier cars put a lot of stress on the track. If you are unsure how much your car weighs, you are welcome to bring it into the shop before race day and we can weight it for you.
▪ All parts of the car must fit behind the starting pin before the race. The starting pin is only about 2 LEGO bricks high, so be sure the front of your car is lower than that to ensure it does not extend over the starting pin.
▪ Bricks & Minifigs staff may inspect your car to ensure compliance. We want to make sure your car won’t damage the track or other cars.
▪ Racers may not modify cars between races, but you can repair your car if it becomes damaged during the race
Other important rules:
▪ Each participant who races (adult or child) must have their own car
▪ Participants must have designed their own car
▪ Participants in the child category must be 5-13 years old
▪ Participants in the adult category must be 14+ years old
▪ Spectators are welcome to view but may not race or win
All participants will receive a card for a free LEGO minifigure from the Minifig Maker table!
Start your engines, and good luck!
