RC Toy Car Derby

Radio-controlled toy cars line up at the starting line on the dirt track of the baseball diamond.
Start your (electric) engines!

Every spring before the boards come down, the Friends of Sorauren Park host a unique event on the rink space: The Radio-Controlled Toy Car Derby. The first event took place in 2022 during the pandemic, when outdoor events were the safest way to gather.

The tone is fun and frantic. There are no prizes, but racers join heats in their size and skill class. Jumps and obstacles add to the excitement. (Check out this video clip.)

Entry is free. Donations to support Friends of Sorauren Park and free park programming are welcome.

Thanks to previous 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!
