5th Annual Pintwood Derby

Time to dust off your tools and bust out those Jr. High woodshop skills, and build yourself that winning car you could never seem to make back in the day. It's time for our 5th Annual Pintwood Derby and Brewers Cup!! This years event wil take place on Saturday, September 29th at Alosta Brewing Co.

We started this event several years back as a fun, unique way to bring families and friends together. A chance for moms and dads to work on a race car with their kids, as well as an opportunity for adults to perhaps relive a part of their youth. Each year we get to see our customers, both with and without children, interacting together in good, clean, family fun. This truly is an event for everybody. We will have food trucks, raffle prizes, and a live DJ.

The track will be in prime condition, and the weather should be great! There will be awards for the following categories:

14&U - 1st, 2nd, 3rd
15+ - 1st, 2nd, 3rd
Outlaw Class 1st
Grand Champion (winner of 14U vs. winner of 15+)
