If there was an issue with your car that we could not fix at the weigh-in event, you can drop your car off at this time instead. This is the backup weigh-in from 5PM-7PM. No reservations required.
Scouts will use a Google form to vote for the single car that they think is Most Awesome! Only one vote per Scout will be accepted. This form will be available a couple days after the weigh-in.
Join us on Zoom at 6PM to watch the amazing racing action as the best of the best compete!
