NEW THIS YEAR: We have just 25 box car kits available for new participants, so don’t wait to register!
Due to our previous box car kit company closing, we’re limited on new kits this year while we work to find a new supplier for future races. RETURNING RACERS — we’d LOVE to see your cars from last year back on the track! If you still have your car, you’re welcome to modify it and race again. We can provide new plywood if needed! We encourage those who want to build their own box cars to do so; see rules and regulations for details.
ALL new and returning racers MUST register and/or pick up their kits by Friday, September 11th. Registrations will not be accepted after September 11th.
Kit pickup will be available at Noel Field Complex from 3:00–5:00 PM on:
Wednesday, September 2
Wednesday, September 9
Thursday, September 10
Friday, September 11
A Google registration link will be available to schedule your kit pickup time here: https://forms.gle/SgEzSUWBRN8cNWuL8
Have a box car from last year that you’re not planning to use? We’d love to put it back on the track! If you’d like to donate your car to a new racer, please contact Director of Tourism Lindsay Randall at lrandall@northadams-ma.gov.
Questions about the event? Reach out to Lindsay Randall or Meghan DeLuca at mdeluca@northadams-ma.gov.
Start building, start planning, and we’ll see you on Main Street!
