Things we need:

Spectator and racer safety is our priority!   If you can provide any of the things we need for the race, please contact us.

  1. Straw bales - The sides of the derby track are lined with straw bales used as crash barriers to protect drivers and spectators. The bales are also used as anchors.
  2. Channelizer Road Cones - There are areas of the track where road cones will help direct spectator traffic and highlight "off limits" areas.
  3. Funding for a updated 1956 purpose built course at Mt. Tabor Park for future youth races.
