RULES!

RULES OF THE ROAD (plan something else if you can’t follow these)

  • No pre-fab rods from kits - that’s boring. Each ride should reflect your soul.
  • Rods are gravity-powered. Must start WITHOUT ANY HELP.
  • Less than 5 feet wide & 10 feet long - we’ll measure.
  • At least 4 (four) wheels - that touch the ground at all times.
  • Braking systems are optional - but highly encouraged. Remember Fred Flintstone-style brakes require really good shoes.
  • Driving position is FEET FIRST ONLY.
  • No weights/ballast on rods - weight of materials and rider only. Need more weight, eat a donut.
  • Helmets required - long pants, elbow pads, retainers, facemasks, goggles, red scarves optional.
  • EVERYONE signs a waiver saying cars wreck and it’s nobody else’s fault.
  • BE GOOD TO THE NEIGHBORS. Racing hill is offered by wonderful families and friends - it's a gift. Respect their yards, property, kids, etc. (no trash, or potty language)
