The 3^rd Annual Soapbox Derby will take place again this year in Muff on Saturday July 31^st.  All racers are invited to parade their soapboxes on Friday July 30^th at the Mayoral Parade.

(Location and Time will be confirmed at a later date)

So, what's a soapbox??

Each soap box will race against time (so there will only be one soap box on the circuit at any one time).  When one soap box has got to the finish line safely or has been removed from the circuit, the next soap box will start.

You will speed your way down a track from side to side down a hill through some tricky chicanes and then on to the finish line and your run will be timed.  A soapbox consists of steering plus brakes - no engine required.  The Garage has more info on steering and brakes.

Highway Code (Rules!

• A soapbox consists of steering plus brakes

• The teams should consist of one pilot and up to 4 ‘pit crew’

• Helmets must be worn on race day

• Drivers must be over 16 years of age

• Competitors are not permitted to throw anything out of the soap box whilst racing

When you arrive on race day you must check-in your soapbox and team so ensure you speak to a race organizer when you arrive.  To enter in advance or if you need any additional information please contact Emma at 086-2106201 or email us at mufffestival@mufffestival.com.
