Pumpkin Assembly starts at 12:30pm Qualifying runs start at 1:30pm Championship races start at 3:00pm

The pumpkin race is a simple concept. Take a carved pumpkin, decorate it, and insert 2 independent axles through the pumpkin and attach wheels. Handcrafted Pumpkin Racecars then race side-by side in unpredictable and dramatic style down a hill to victory.

There will be limited kits (wheels, axles, and bearing) available for purchase. Be sure to bring supplies to decorate your pumpkin! See back for contest rules. Register on-site the day of the race. $5 per entry. $8 per entry if kits are provided.

Race Categories:
12 years old & under 13 to 18 years old Adults and family pumpkins

Co-sponsored by Carpenters Farm. Be sure to visit their tent for some cider, cookies, pies and other treats!

1. Craft your Pumpkin Race Car using a single pumpkin. 2. Insert a minimum of two independent axles through your pumpkin and attach wheels to the axles. The axles must go through the wheels. No caster wheels. Spice up your racer with style. 3. You may not attach your pumpkin onto a pre-fabricated chasse of any kind (office chair, skateboard, stroller, Tonka Truck, etc.) 4. No EXPLOSIVES or PYROTECHNICS 5. No pushing or helping your Pumpkin Racer on the starting line. No last minute shove or hidden thumb flick. Pumpkins will be held with both hands at the start of the race. The hands will be taken off the pumpkin in a straight over the head motion.
