Soap box rules please?? the less the better


Not many rules ..... so far !

Entries taken on day
There will be a scrutineer who will inspect the "vehicles"...if he says they're not safe or strong enough ,they won't race
Will need to have rigid steering (ie no ropes etc )
Shouldn't have any sharp or dangerous features
Will need to have a brake
Will need to have a solid floor in case a foot gets caught
Will need to have a solid & secure seat.
Should not have any mechanical parts to increase speed (ie no catapults,pedals or jet engines ! )

Minimum age limit 15 & will need parental consent....younger enthusiasts sometimes haven't developed a self preservation instinct :)
Team must sign a declaration absolving organisers from any & all responsibility.
Driver to wear sleeved top & a helmet

Approx 350m long / 2.5m wide , fresh smooth tarmac with some nice twisty bits ...all down hill....approx 20m height drop over course length

Won't require any "pushers"....!

Hope your build is progressing well !
