FINAL SCHEDULE

The race schedule will be finalized on March 8 after registration closes. Once the race schedule is set, races will never start before the published race time. The races are setup so to let families take their cars after their race if they are not in the grand finals. We do encourage everyone to attend the Outlaw race and STEM event, as overall design awards and our final raffle prizes will be presented prior to the grand finals.
