.So we have started to build our STI for the Orillia Cardboard Box Toboggan Race on Jan 31 1pm at the Couching Golf Course on the hill.

Helmets must be worn.
No entry fee
Must be primarily from cardboard
No store bought sleds, ie crazy carpets as the base
You can use duct tape, tin foil, shower curtian, garbage bays,etc.

There are awards for:

The fastest
Furthest Distance
Most Creative Design
Largest
and Most Spectacular Wipeout

So our son James wanted a Subaru like mom so thats what he's getting. We are planning on using the roll cage for the main support of the unit. Photos to come

Still have about 10h's on it yet to get it finished. I am looking for stickers to put on it after I paint it blue to make it look like a rally car.
