Sorauren RC Toy Car Derby March 30 – new date!
UPDATE: Due to the battery-draining cold and the snow, the Derby has been rescheduled from March 23 to March 30. Updated details below.
The race event of the year is set for Saturday, March 30, when the third-annual Radio-Controlled Toy Car Derby returns to Sorauren Park! (Check out this video clip.)
The race uses the rink boards on the baseball diamond as the thrilling course, before the boards are taken down for the season. Jumps and obstacles add to the excitement.
Races begin at 10 am sharp on March 30, with registration beginning at 9:30. Entry is free, but donations to support Friends of Sorauren Park and free park programming are welcome.
Thanks to sponsors Scooter Girl Toys and Laneway Custom Build. All participants will be entered into a raffle draw for a chance to win an awesome toy courtesy of Scooter Girl!
