Squirrel Box Derby builder's forum

Just to let you die hard Squirrel Box derby fans know... there is now a squirrel box racing cart forum at http://WhiteSquirrels.com where you can discuss your design with other racers. We're expecting 40 or more racers this year compared to last year's 17. The race has also been expanded to two days... Saturday, May 24th for the kids, and Sunday, May 25th for the adults and businesses. I've heard of a couple of teams that have already been hard at work on their designs. If it's even close to last year, this will be a great event. The streets were packed with onlookers and there were some very close races (one had to be decided by viewing the tape)

There's also been some rule changes, such as the requirement for a seat belt. The biggest problem with most carts is that they over steer. So be sure to make a safe design that is wide, low to the ground, and has good steering and brakes. You can view the Squirrel Box racing rules here.
