On your marks, get set,…..GO!  The Frontier District Cubmobile Races will be held Saturday, April 2nd in the  Settler’s Cabin Wave pool parking lot.

What is a Cubmobile?  It’s a type of soapbox derby car that the boys race in 4 different events.  There is one gravity (downhill) event, and three events with a pusher and a driver.  Teams of two to four scouts compete against other scouts of the same rank.

How do I get a Cubmobile?  You build it!  Linked is a pdf file with instructions and race details.  Several dens in the Pack have already built cars in the past, so if you are interested, ask around and you are sure to find some help.

When/Where/How Much is the race?  The race is at Settler’s Cabin, in the wavepool parking lot.  It’s Saturday April 2nd.  Check-in begins at 8:30.  There is an opening ceremony at 9:15, and racing starts at 9:30.  The cost is $10 per scout (money will be collect and scouts registered in advance).  Check-in runs until noon, and racing ends at 2:00 PM.

Anything else?  Dress WARM (even if it seems like a nice day — it’s cold on that hill!).  You MUST wear a helmet, gloves, and long pants.  Uniforms or “class Bs” are required, but they are usually under your coat, anyhow.
