Cardboard car derby

The Conway Cardbord Car Derby is held as part of the Conway EcoFest, scheduled for Saturday September 08, 2012 at Laurel Park in Conway. 

 The event, similar to the gravity propelled Soap Box Derbies or cardboard sled races, is intended as an enjoyable means to promote teamwork at home, work, or play, as well as demonstrate the intrinsic worth of discarded or reused materials.

This is open to individuals, families, organizations, youth groups, schools and commercial businesses. Vehicles may be simple, silly, elaborate, promotional and/or highly engineered vehicles. Let your imagination go!

NEW!! We have a limited number of pre-made cardboard cars that can be decorated and entered in the Derby.  They hold up to 225 pounds. For more info, please contact Debbie at 501  472-0901 or through this Web site.
