Salem’s American Heritage Girls and Trail Life troop are hosting their annual derby race! All children and youth (ages 5–17) are welcome to participate.

Contact John Pearson (218-348-7038) if you would like to participate. Car kits are $5 each and require assembly. Please make checks out to Salem Covenant Church. Style your car and come race!

Rules:

1. Cars must use the axles and wheels supplied in the kit. The addition of decals, driver, steering wheel, car trim, accessories, and painting are permitted as long as they do not cause the car to exceed the maximum dimensions or weight.
2. Car weight shall not exceed 5 oz. Weight may be added to lighten cars to bring them to 5 ounces, but the weight must be securely attached. No moving weights or mercury are allowed.
3. Overall car length shall not exceed 7", overall width shall not exceed 2 ¾", distance between the wheels shall be at least 1 ¾", and overall height shall not exceed 3"
4. Clearance to the bottom of the car when resting on its wheels must be at least 3⁄8" so it will not rub on the lane strip.
5. Wheel bearings, bushings, washers, and springs are prohibited.
6. Starting devices are prohibited. Cars must be freewheeling.
7. Wheels and axles should be lubricated with any dry type of lubricant (e.g., powdered graphite), but excess lubricant must be wiped off, so as not to foul the track. Once a car is checked in, no further lubrication will be allowed.
8. Wheels can be lightly sanded but must not result in substantial removal of mass or in reducing the wheel width from the original kit wheels. Wheel shape may not be altered from the original condition (i.e. rounded, beveled, cupped, etc.).
9. The car must pass inspection at check-in time. If the car does not pass initially, it may be modified at the repair station as long as it passes by the end of the registration period.
10. Car number will be assigned during check-in and will be marked on the bottom of the car.
11. Cars raced in previous years are not eligible. All participating cars must be built specifically for this race.
12. Only one car per person may be entered in the race.

Join us for a free breakfast in the gym! The second service will be delayed until 11:00 this morning.

This reflective service is planned and performed by the Remedy youth group.
