PHIZZFEST GO-KART DERBY 

---

Go Kart Derby is now re-scheduled to  Sunday 17 May Mount Bernard Park 1pm-3pm

Welcome to the Pitstop!

The Pitstop Crew hope to make this event hands-on, hands-dirty, and as hands-together for all you budding DIY Dragsters.

The idea for this event comes from our experience of imagining and making.  We hope to empower you to try your hand at making your imaginings become real.

The event is split into 2 parts.

Race Day           Sun 17 May  1.00pm Mount Bernard Park, Shandon  Duration 2 hours

Time trial races around the course with one team member pushing and another driving. The Pitstop Crew  will man the races over loudspeaker with digital timer on show from the Leaderboard Truck.  Expect noise and the smell of burning rubber!  Also the 2014 reigning champions “The Exploding Pigs” will present this year’s winners with the coveted ‘Wheel of Gold Trophy’

Workshop           Sat 25th April Scouts Hall, Phibsborough. 2.00pm - 5.00pm
