Merstham Cubs Racing Push Carts
Today was the Reigate and Horley Cubs District Push Cart Racing Competition. We were down in Horley in a school playground in the rain, but we all enjoyed it immensely and we won a few races (although not enough to keep the trophy we won last year). Here are a couple of videos that I took of some of our races.
Eight Year Olds Single Lap Race
This was the first race that we won, and Lewis was pushing with Christopher steering. Both boys have only just come up from the Beavers.
10 Years and under Relay Race
We had Solomon pushing in lap 1 and Thomas P in lap 2 with Alex steering, they had a fantastic race and then crashed off the course a couple of metres short of the finish line when they were about to win!
9 and Under Relay Race Final
The boys won their heat before I thought to video the races, they were ahead by miles. They were second in the final, hampered by a bit of a bump.
Leader’s Race
A bit longer at three laps, but the boys did really well on it.
Ha! They drive like maniacs. There is no brake, it is all full speed ahead.and be sure you know what to do in the event of problems.
