Valve Cover racing at Ascutney
Posted: Wed Mar 25, 2009 8:56 pm
We’ve added a new class for the 2009 Spring Mt Ascutney Hillclimb! No, it's not 2wd vs 4wd, or drifting or motorcycles. It's downhill racing! The best part, no safety equipment is needed and the rules can be covered in 5 lines:
1 - Chassis/body must be an automotive valve cover
2 - 10 lb maximum for entire vehicle
3 - no engines, motors or propulsion devices
4 - max width 15", max length 30"
5 - no steering device
Trophies will be awarded to the top 3 finishers, based on best times and/or distance traveled, plus 1 trophy for Best Of Show. All ages are welcome and encouraged to enter this competition.
The course will likely be near the start line or heading down to the dumpsters in the camping area. Off-road excursions, collisions or roll-overs are quite possible. Construct your racers appropriately. The Best Of Show competition will be held BEFORE the racing begins.
The downhill competition will be after the hill is picked up Saturday evening.
Start building your racers now!
