On your marks, get set,…..GO!  The Frontier District Cubmobile Races will be held Saturday, April 1st 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!  Attached is a pdf file with instructions.  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.  There are three cars in the pack not currently being used, so talk to the Cubmaster if you want to race one of those.

When/Where/How Much is the race?  The race is at Settler’s Cabin, in the wavepool parking lot.  It’s Saturday April 1st.  Check-in begins at 8:30.  There is an opening ceremony at 9:00, and racing starts at 9:15.  The cost is $10 per scout if paid in advance (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.
