Rules

1. Each den may enter and race one car. Each scout must be present at registration and during the racing.
2. All Cubmobiles entered shall conform to the specifications in the “Cubmobile Design Standards”, described later.
3. There will be two competition events, “Speed” and “Design”. Each Cubmobile entered may compete in both events.
   1. Speed Event – Each scout will race for time.
   2. Design Event – Each Cubmobile will be evaluated for workmanship.
4. Each Cubmobile must pass a technical inspection before it may compete.  At least one scout per rank (per pack) must be present for Cubmobile inspection during the registration period.
5. The Inspection Judges shall disqualify Cubmobiles that do not meet the rules as described herein. If a Cubmobile does not pass inspection, the den (and the den’s adult leader, if present) will be informed of the reason the Cubmobile did not pass. Cubmobiles that fail the race day inspection will only have until the end of the registration period to make any necessary modifications; otherwise the Cubmobile will not be allowed to compete.
6. No Cubmobile may be altered in any way after it has been inspected. After a Cubmobile passes inspection, the Cubmobile will be placed in the impound area and must remain there during the event (except when racing).
7. Scouts are encouraged to be creative with design and presentation of the Cubmobile. Scouts are also encouraged to name their Cubmobiles and have a good history/story related to that name.
8. Each scout racing shall wear appropriate footwear (no sandals – only closed toed shoes) and long pants (and a heavy long sleeve shirt is highly recommended).  Each scout must bring and wear a helmet (football, bicycle, or lacrosse) during racing. No scout will be allowed to race without a helmet.
