*Derby Details*

Design a pumpkin race car, build it, and let your imagination run wild to
create an eye-catching racer. Compete for prizes and bragging rights at The
1st Annual Lansdowne Park Pumpkin Derby!! It’s a gravity race; the pumpkin
racers roll down a ramp and hopefully make it to the finish line. The first
pumpkin racer to cross the finish line will be the winner of the heat and
move on to the next round. If none of the racers make it to the finish line
the winner of the heat will be the car closest to the finish line. In the
event of a tie there will be a second run down the ramp to determine the
winner.
