Kub Kars 2012

On Sunday the 24th June at Yackandandah it was time once again for the annual Kub Kars event.  Cubs from all around the district turned up to try their luck with the variety of designs that all started out as a simple block of pine, four nails and four wheels supplied in the kit.

 Our cubs had their cars weighed..

..and numbered...

 ..as they entered this years event.

 The trophies up for grabs

 There were all sorts of desgins

 

 

 Waiting for the event to begin

 Finally things got under way with the explanation of how the races will be conducted

 

 Away they go with the first race of the day...

 Our team watch on together

 The Kar's were set once on each lane ( the eventual winner is the green car with the lights)

 Groups of four were called up and waited for their turn to race

 Ours is the yellow car that has just been put up

 A nice close start..

Our next car waiting for the next race

 Ours was the silver one with the large spoiler

 A quick start by some of the Kars

 Our final kar is the orange carrot on the right

It got off to a flying start this time

 Alas, once again we didn't have a kar that made it through to the second round despite a stronger showing this year. So it's back to the drawing board again for next year.

 The finalists

 

The eventual winner (by a long way)

 

A fun day was had by all.
