If you’ve never done so, and even if you have, Google ZUCCHINI RACES and see what you’ve been missing. This year at the fair we intend to make up for that by holding our Sixth Annual Zucchini Race during the exhibition. It should be a lot of fun, especially for those who participate. There is no need to register early, but an entry fee of a “loonie” donated at the time of entry will create a donation to be given to local charity. Zucchini Race Cars must be submitted for judging no later than 12 noon on race day, which will be Saturday (and perhaps Sunday if the race cars survive the first day, or sufficient people indicate a desire to build and/or rebuild for another event). Awards may be given for the best decorated and fastest race cars.
ZUCCHINI RACER SPECIFICATIONS:
1. Race car must be made of a real zucchini and must be the main part of the entry. The zucchini racer may be no wider than 12”, including wheels and decorations.
2. Wheel axles must be incorporated into the zucchini itself. It’s not acceptable to just attach a zucchini to an existing “vehicle” that rolls. This means no attaching a zucchini to a skateboard, roller skate, toy car, etc.
3. Zucchini racer must have 3 or 4 wheels. Wheels can be any type – wooden, metal, vegetable, or plastic.
4. The front wheels must be independent of the rear wheels.
5. Each racer must be self-propelled – no motors or auxiliary propulsion!
6. Please create a zucchini racer sturdy enough to compete in multiple races.
There will be three classes: One for those 6 and under, one for 7-12 years, and another for everyone else. Clearly, it’s the more the merrier.
