Get a zucchini, turn it into a car, and come out to the races!
Buy a zucchini from a local farmer’s market or grow your own from seeds you got from the Library!
In order to be eligible for participation, all Zucchini Racers must meet the following requirements:
Every zucchini car will be assessed and weighed before racing and assigned one of the following weight classes:
Pickle-weight
Small but perfectly formed, the pickle-weights are our smallest (and cutest!) racers. These cars weigh-in at under 200g
Goldilocks-weight
Not too big, not too small, just right for decorating and launching down a ramp. These cars weigh-in at 200-400g.
Monster-weight
Did you grow a monster Zuc? Lucky you! These guys race fast and crash hard. They weigh-in at over 400g.
Outlaws
Didn't read the rules? Don't care about rules? We love you anyway! If you don't fit in the age categories, if your car doesn't meet one or more of the regulations, or if you used a vegetable or fruit other than a zucchini, you will race in this category against the other outlaws.
