Fish Box Derby Safety Inspections August 29th

Hey Joey,

Thanks for giving us a little space to remind folks that the Fish Box Derby is coming up fast. The race is Sunday, September 19 at High Noon down Rogers Street Hill in front of Gorton’s, but the Safety Inspection is in just two weeks away on August 29th at C. B. Fisk from 9 to noon. All cars and their drivers have to be registered, weighed and inspected on that date.

This is the seventeenth year we’ve run the race and it is one of the great family events of the year. Kids can race for bikes, Y memberships, whale watch tickets and other great prizes, even one for coolest car. Everything anyone would need to know is on our website: http://www.fishboxderby.org, or people can call me at 283-1932.

There is no registration fee for the kids. All the money it takes to run the race is provided by people and businesses that advertise on the bales of hay that line the racecourse. In addition, the Fish Box Derby gives two $1,000 each year to former racers who have reached college age. New sponsors are always welcome.

Come on down for the Thrill of the Hill.

Many thanks,

Greg
