2025 Can Car Derby Presented by Black Spruce Brewing Company

All participating cars must utilize one (1) aluminum beverage can in its entirety (not provided, any size allowed), though the can does not need to remain intact to be eligible to race. You gotta use the wheels and axles provided, too, and those suckers need to stay intact.

The overall length of the car shall not exceed seven inches, and the width of the car shall not exceed 2.75 inches (about the width of a can). The car must have 1.75 inches clearance between the wheels and 3/8" inches clearance underneath the body so that your car will fit the track.

The maximum allowable weight will be 20 ounces (1.25 pounds, potentially subject to change).

You may not cut, drill, bevel or round the provided wheels. You may remove seams or imperfections, should they exist. Axles can be altered, polished and lubricated.

Yeah, for sure. Any cars that do not meet the abovementioned criteria will be disqualified. Once a car passes inspection and is entered into the race, only race officials may touch it. Only inspected/approved cars will be allowed to compete. You'll have five minutes to repair any last-minute damage.
