Racers
It's that time of year again to break open the toolbox and build your gravity powered vehicle. Build yourself a whacky crowd pleaser, or create something that will challenge the course record.
If you wish to participate in the event, please ensure that you have downloaded the entry form and Sponsorship form.
Fete
It's not all about the racing, this is also a fantastic day out for the family with plenty to see and do.
The main purpose of the event is to raise funds for our chosen beneficiaries, The Pilgims Hospice, Ashford and Kaleidoscope Childcare, Aldington
Spectators
The box carts often travel in excess of 40mph, therefore we insist that spectators remain behind the taped area (typically on the pavement).
The Marshalls volunteer for spectator and driver safety. If you are asked to move somewhere else or not to do something, please respect that request.
