The Power Wheels Race Series is open to children ages 2 to 8 years old, a responsible adult must accompany all children, and the series’ entry fee is $20 per vehicle. Eligible participants will race their own “power wheels” type vehicle (a battery- powered vehicle that children drive) around three different tracks that will be set up just for them. Each racer will compete against others for the best race time. Medals will be awarded to the top racers at the Jefferson Grand Prix on May 26!
Participants must wear a bicycle helmet, provide their own power wheels vehicle, and parents must be able to transport the vehicle to and from the racing site. For the safety of the driver and the sake of this series, the vehicle is NOT to be altered from the manufacturer’s specifications (“stock car”). Altered cars will automatically be disqualified.
